Hello,

The pictures are so fuzzy that you can not make out things.
Please make sharp crisp pictures.

Like Bertus says, it is impossible to see any details in the photographs you've posted.

You did not have enough light available when you took those pics. Also, it looks like you were too close to the board.

You will get the best results if you take the photos outside on an overcast day. If the sky is clear, try using a white bedsheet as a canopy to scatter the light. Direct sunlight is not good, as the reflections and harsh shadows will also make it impossible to see details.

This forum maintains a strict "G" rating. Please correct the language in your post.

You still have a problem with the lighting, the distance between your camera and subject (too close) and in several photos, you moved the camera as you took the photo.

Use Macro mode on your camera if it has that setting.
Most cameras do.

This allows you to take clear pictures up close (a few inches away) so that detail is clearly shown (component/board numbers etc...)
