Friday Talisman: Lead, Your Days Are Numbered
I really do need to find a camera better at taking pictures close up. After about fourteen attempts, this is the best photo of my alchemist that I could manage.

Does your camera have a macro function? Or a zoom? Or, to be honest, getting closer might be the key! After all, for a close-up photo there's an awful lot of stuff in the background of the subject! ;-)
Zoom? "Getting closer?" I can't possibly be expected to understand this high-level technical language. Would you mind coming over next weekend to demonstrate how one gets closer to things? Up until now I've literally just been picking my camera up wherever I've left it and pointed it at what I wanted to photograph.
Also, why is it that when there's an object in the way of what I want a picture of, that object then shows up on the photo? I don't want it there. There's this thing called a "battery" which seems to magically decide whether or not I can use my camera; the Other Half tried to explain it but it made my brain hurt.
Point taken, but seriously, is that really the closest you can get to the miniature and get any kind of usable photo? Because, yes, if so that is one utterly crappy camera you have there. I'd be interested to see the other pics you took prior to this one.
I would really recommend in the interests of clarity having a less busy background, too. Apart from anything else, it seems determined to focus on the spines of you tpbs.
Actually, some days it seems to work better than others, but yeah, it's a fairly rubbish camera. Or maybe it's more fair to say it's a spectaculary unfrilly camera, and this particular issue seems to keep flummoxing it.
That's a good point about the background, though. Time to run some experiments.
