It is a cheap, cheap, digital camera. Add that to my non-photogenic ways of taking pictures, that is a bad combo. Any how this should do and this is not my best photo just a quick shot or what you call a preview.

What kind is it Trav? We could look it up at Steve's Digicams and see what the focus range is, etc.

Travis, I've noticed that even with my fancy-schmancy digi cam that my pictures will be out of focus if I don't give the auto focus a chance to actually focus. When I'm in too much of a hurry and snap the pic before the lenses settle (for lack of a better term), I get blurry pics too.

Anyway, what nep is that? Copelandii?

You got it! It is a N. Sanguinea, you beat me to it on my own plant!

Good Job!

The digital camera is a Bell Howell BH22.

the BH22 is "focus free"..which also means "fixed focus"..which also means the camera does not focus at all by itself..
it was ONE focus setting, and thats it..
which means anything closer than 2 feet will always be out of focus..

I will make sure I keep it at 2 feet or further away. Thanks Scott.
