Closeup Photos

I am still a novice when it comes to digital photography. However, I’ve been reading on the Etsy forums and trying out techniques. Recently, I’ve been replacing some of my Etsy shop photos with more close ups like these. I still want to make a light box especially for winter photography and I want to learn how to use Photoshop Elements, which IMHO is one of least intuitive computer programs I have ever tried to use. I still use Microsoft Picture Manager for most of my editing because, even though it’s pretty basic, I know how to use it. My Canon Power Shot SD800IS is a great little camera. It has image stabilization which I really need because my hand is not all that steady and I don’t like having to use a tripod.
