Re: How do I get sharper images? NX1100

Ok, I've just looked at your bead site samples and have a better idea. You can use a smaller tripod or a folded tripod and position it on your desk or work surface like this (with a zoom lens, or else you need a smaller tripod to get the camera closer to the surface.  Or extend the tripod up and shoot beads on the edge of a table surface):

Place your beads underneath on a large white sheet of paper (can get huge white sheets for 99c from CVS pharmacy in the stationery isle, if you live in the U.S.--I remember budget was a great consideration). Use natural light from your window or a strategically positioned floor lamp with a translucent frosted hood.
