I'm going to have to pay closer attention to your auctions when you have them. Digs when you take a close up get as close as you can but watch for a little hand telling you your too close, then take the pic. and crop from there. May help prevent the blur. I'd probably be shaking the camera beening so excited about digging. I've got to dig again. < Message edited by Stardust -- 4/16/2008 11:01:26 PM > _____________________________ My supporter tag is missing again for the second time. I don't care anymore.
