Don, I was about to ask the FSM staff, but after looking at your superb artwork and seeing this Q&A with you, I have decided to ask this of you. Some years ago, I purchased an Olympus camera with 5.1 mega-pixels, for just under $200. I have a diorama of which I would like to take good pictures. There seems to be no way I can get a picture either in focus or that is not too light in the foreground. Recently, my son-in-law took pictures of a rifle I had for sale with his camera that were far superior to what I had taken with my "expensive" camera. I look at the pictures in FSM of how to articles or the Reader's Gallery, and I ask myself, "How did they do that?" All I want is to take some nice well lit and well focused pictures like I see in FSM without spending too much money. Is that a reasonable goal? Thanks. ~ Clint
