Very cool pics! [smilie=c: I LOVE the pl*co, great detail! [smilie=bowdown.gif]
Well I found out the camera and the pic specs from the EXIF info. Nice camera for a 3mpx. Great reviews HERE (http://www.steves-digicams.com/2003_reviews/z1.html)
The only comments are:
1. Are you using the Supermacro mode on it, and if yes, the distance should be around 2" for your camera to the subject.
2. The white balance seems a bit off, should probably be set to Flourescent
3. Looking at your EXIF info, if the lighting is Good, you can bring your shutter speed WAY down from 1/3 sec to about 1/400 and get much crispier pics.
BTW, for those who dont know, you can view all PIC info in Photoshop from FILE , FILE INFO, then Section: EXIF. If you like the shot you took, to replicate the settings look at that EXIF info. Shows everything from your settings to camera to distance to ....
How about Adobe 5.0 LE? It does not seem to have this file info option on the menu.

Yes, it is a Minolta Z1 i chose it for the optical zoom, this is my first Digital camera, i have 2 reflex.
No i was not using Super MACRO, i'l,keep the distances in mind tonight at another session [smilie=biggrin.gif]
i'll check the white balance too
This weekend i'll get my lights back from a friend so i'll get 400 watts of lightning, i hope it improves [smilie=biggrin.gif]
