Close Up Mode
if your camera has a close up mode turn it on so you gt a litte better quality
if your camera doesn't have a close up mode don't mind it is not really super important

The Pictures

some hints:
in place of putting the camera close to the object you better zoom in cause else (at least in my case)
the camera won't focus.
if you zoom in to much you would better put the camera on a stand to prevent blurr
hope you liked my first instructable and if there are questions ask them in the comments
