OK, the Orange Heron is the fuzziest close up I took, but the others are not nearly as sharp as BUs latest photos, not even by a long shot. My digital camera is a Nikon Coolpix point and shoot. My old SLR is a Nikkormat with all manual settings for shutter speed, f-stop, focus, etc. I've never used the digital in anything but point and shoot mode. Do you have to fiddle with the settings to get sharp macro close ups. I mean, if BU can do it, I'm convinced it ain't rocket science.
