Whoever took the pictures - nice hustle, but perhaps you could use the
macro setting to focus close-in, or set the aperture to a higher F stop
(like F 5.6 or greater)

On some pics, you can see things came into focus past the object.

PS. Of course, higher F stop means less light. F 8 brings everything
into focus, but reduces the amount of light.

I was going to apologize for the crappy pictures. That _is_ with a
macro, although it's the camera's built-in macro setting which, while it
does put a pretty picture of a flower in one corner of the view screen,
doesn't let you get much closer than a foot. I should have gone back
and taken more pictures when I found just how bad it is, but I'm lazy.

Maybe today.
