Harrison, you see how well the the first shot in post #1700 looks. The camera is having trouble focusing because it's to close the the subject. It works the same way with our eyes if we are to close to an object. You may have to be two or three feet from the subject in order for the camera to focus on it. Play around with it some and see where it works best. If the subject of the photo is to small you may be able to enlarge the photo and crop it in your photo program.
