I'm new to this hobby and need some help with identifying rocks. I think one of the rocks is a saphire but not sure. One of the rocks looks likea nougat candy. Thanks for your help.

If you'll post some pics of what you have, we'll take a shot at identifying it for you. Without something to look at, you've given us very little to go on.

I also us irfanview - great little program. Do you have a macro setting on your camera? If so you need to use that for close ups. Or you could take your picture from farther away. Then you might be able to crop it & then resize it for a better picture.......Donnie

Those pics aren't any clearer. Try shooting each stone by itself. Then crop them on your camera before you transfer them to your computer.

Your camera may not be able to focus that close. Be sure to put it in macro mode. If you look at your photos, the grass is in focus but your hands and rocks are not.
Keep trying, you'll get it! Chuck

I also have a lot of "freeware" photo manipulation software if you want some.

i agree with redrock ... but what you need to do is make the picture smaller !!! put in 800 height and 800 width and try that .... then save it and upload ...if that dont work you will need to retake the pictures ...

Unfortunately, nothing can be done to fix a photo that is out of focus. She'll have to take new ones.
