Regarding the photos, my two guesses are that the shot is out of focus or you are moving the camera too much while the shutter is open. If it's an autofocus only camera, try to shoot straight down at the razors on the table (bird's eye type view). If it's auto-exposure, try additional light. You could also shoot the camera rifle style; breathe in, let half a breath out, take the shot, then finish the breath. A tripod would also work, as would resting the camera on or against a stable object.

Thanks for your advice, re took the pic, came out much better....

Looks like you have eliminated camera shake from the equation. Now the focus is just a bit soft in the foreground due to a short depth of field. My guess is you've got a point and shoot? Assuming you do, and you cannot control the aperture of the lens, the best way to keep everything in focus is to keep the subjects you want in focus equidistant from the lens. Unfortunately, such angles are typically boring.

But the pic looks very nice as is, and I often find that a shorter depth of field allows for a more artistic look.

Thanks so much for helping, I suck with digital camera's. I'm an old school 35mm guy. I got a free dig cam with a phone, now I actually have use for one. I may purchase something better. Any advice...Rich
