I use my USB Microscope because using my loupe gives me headaches.
As far as the photos go, I did the best I could with my USb Microscope. Though on the first pictures I reduced the picture size to like 320x240...
Well, so far I've mostly been using the Cherry Picker's guide to show me what sort of things I need to be looking for, but I'm coming to the point...
Thanks for all the responses guys, it's greatly appreciated. I really hope that I can be one of the people answering questions rather than asking...
Sorry it took so long, I went and got myself a nap, lol. But as requested, here is a full shot @ 1600x1200 resolution. Front:...
