Wait a minute...Uh oh....my bad! What I actually meant to say was that they could be fabulous - if it weren't for one single, very annoying, unifying detail that's present in every one of your instructables. Can you guess? It's your photographs dude! C'mon! They contain just the "right" amount of blur so that I get a headache every time I attempt to focus in on the details. Do you have any idea how aggravating that is?
You're obviously quite intelligent and take great care in putting together your instructables which you then so generously share with the world. That's why I'm slightly dumbfounded as to how you could have overlooked such a critical detail - good photography - without it, you have nothing. It's like owning a beautiful, sick looking, custom hot rod powered by a fire-breathin', track gnashing 4 cyl .8L - talk about anticlimactic! LOL
If you're interested in taking better, clearer photographs then check out this instructable by 1up: http://www.instructables.com/id/Macro-Photography-An-Essential-Skill-for-Good-Ins/
Follow the simple steps outlined and your instructables will go from could be fabulous to absolutely & perfectly fabulous!
You rock dude and keep up the good work!
However, there is pleasing news to soothe that annoying blur. I will be refilming my instructables to make them better.
Thank you for your support.
