I see an unfortunate amount of botched photos from folks in ads and in emails back and forth. Anecdotally, I've seen probably a 50% miss rate on photos. However, I believe most of these can be solved by a few simple steps:

1. Wipe your camera lens before each photo shoot - this one is probably the most prevalent.
2. Wear good reading glasses so that you can see when photos are blurred.
3. If you use flash, you probably want to remove the machine's glass.
4. Lastly, zoom in and check to see if the details show up. I'm shocked how many photos are simply blurry.

If anyone needs help, I would be happy to provide some help with this just for the sake of having better pics on this site

Thanks,
Dave

Totally get it. I did look at your pics...and they definitely don't suffer from the usual stuff.

I'm not asking for 30 photos...just at least make sure the photo is in focus and your lens isn't dirty.

My rant is more towards the folks that are not intentionally trying to post a blurry photo. But you definitely pointed out something that shows my tendency to look all over the place as opposed to strictly local.
