I'm trying to take a picture of a bloodletter with an Ipod camera but it's not really working so well. The pictures are looking pretty blurry and photoshop is not helping.
Was wondering if anyone knows how to take clearer pictures using an Ipod camera.

Use the volume buttons to snap the pics instead of the screen button. That helps a bunch with getting rid of blurred pics.

Lots of light from desk lamps.

Take the photo farther back and crop it later (too close makes it harder to take a good pic)

There are tripod adapters for iphones/ipods that will be great too because it will hold the device still.

I sprayed the inside of two battalion boxed white and used them as a base and background for the model. It makes the focus a bit clearer in my opinion.

Modern digital cameras focus well even at close distances.

Blur is usually caused by camera shake. Good light helps with that because it reduces the exposure time, and people's ideas given above are going to help.

Fixing the camera in place will always solve the problem, though, so get a tripod. This kind of thing is all you need.

You want a light touch on the shutter button, and make sure the whole setup isn't going to slip or joggle.
