btw: what camera are you using? because you take the best pictures i have seen on the forum so far. lolit beats my Kodak easy share,

Thanks, believe it or not this camera I use is about 6 years old. It's a Nikon Coolpix 995 3.2 megapixel. People allways get suckered into buying these new "hi-end" 5.0+ megapixel camera's without doing research on lens quality. You can pick this camera up on ebay for around $150 or so and I personally think it's better then most of the 5.0mp cameras sold in stores today. Macro mode is where this camera really shines.

Macro w/no zoom...

Macro with zoom...

Jared530 - I'll have pics of the BTL when it get's here. I ordered it on 1/16/07.

Thanks, not sure when Ficaraudio will ship the sub, hopefully I will get it by Friday. I work 8-5 M-F, here's my tasklist...

• Tonight I'm going to round the edges of the port and outside of the box.
  
• Tuesday or Wendsday I'll probably make the double baffle that's going to cover the entire front of the box, I will also have to make a cutout for the port.
  
• Thursday I will wood glue and nail the box together.
  
• Friday I will sand and get most of the prep work done to paint the box.
  
• Saturday - Sunday I will start the procedures of painting the entire box.

It's allways tuff getting the perfect focused pic. Images like those of the ants takes about 20 try's to get it perfect //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

my wife new camera did a better job, yeah like you said it was tricky to get it to focus on what i wanted, the voice coil. while the camera kept trying to focus on the basket. lol

LOL I could see that happening, In my Macro mode it has this nifty feature that when you press the button half way down it will display some small red brackets on the LCD viewfinder which is telling you where it's focused in at. Release the button and press it again it will position the red brackets on a different area of the screen. I just press and release untill the red brackets are on what I want to focus in on. Does anyone know if newer cameras do this?
