    I've started taking photos to post, but not 100 % successful with the process. :roll: Some are blurry, get a shine from the flash, etc. And then the next one looks good. :) I was taking photos of my mini's and some table runners. My question:

    What's the best way to "stage" your photos to get a clear image? Any suggestions?

    when taking photos inside with the lights on, I turn off my flash, seems to make them clearer and truer to the real color
