Re: first picture

Set your camera to macro (close up) mode. Usually the mode is indicated by a flower. I think that's your problem. I have a Kodak digital camera. If I get closer than 12 inches I have to set it to macro mode. But even then I cannot get closer than 4 inches.

Re: first picture

The macro setting.............my favourite discovery in the last while!!
Try to find it, it makes a huge difference, though even without a clear pic, you've got a very nice looking snake!!

Re: first picture

I kept looking in the manual and couldn't figure out how to get to the macro setting, then I discovered it by accident!
