Walla! You just solved my problem I used a shadow box to give it just the right amount of soft lighting and the picture came out as near to perfect as I could have hoped for. One of those why didn't think of that moments!

The picture is on my mantel just to the left of my great grandmothers picture and in close proximity to my uncle Billy Bobs urn.

Thanks so much for all the great advice and giving me some viable options too!!

I have a picture of myself taken by (my gal pal at the time) on my old Cushman motor scooter from back in the day.(1972) Wanting to put it on a memory card the only way to do it obviously would be to take a picture of the picture. I have tried to do that a few different ways. Up close with a macro lens, further away with a zoom etc. All with sub par results. Has anyone ever tried to accomplish this with satisfactory results? The picture itself is sharp as a razor. Thanks much for any replies!

I'm not gonna say I get it right every time either, my rant was more about those that post articles in the news should at least make a concerted effort to get it right. Better yet, maybe just proof read what they wrote.

Thanks Longshadow, I stand corrected.

Ever notice when you read the read the news how many spelling and use of sentence structure errors are in the title scripts and the follow up dialog? Is there such a word as sneaked?, can you feel more better after sergery? Did the snake really bet him in the leg? Just needed to vent my runt for the day
