I Found this point about 20 years ago, and have been trying to get the best image of it that I could since then. My old 35 mm film camera would have done a lot better but I did not have a macro lens, and was really quite ignorant on how to do it. My first decent shot was with a Kodak DC 290, 3.2 meg...
