Hi XP1, The text fits well with your chosen angle, the whole image works well. Just 2 small crits, one is to straighten up the left hand side so that it is vertical, and the second is to clone out that mark below the S of space.

My eye doesn't find anywhere sharp to really rest on??? would have maybe focused manually on the first word so the focus dropped off as it went back (or vice versa) or maybe a higher ISO and a smaller Fno to get more of it in focus???...

Was this hand held? If so good job with the shutter speed.
I agree with Barry's points.
I can see this in a corporate leaflet/website offering what's on offer there, good job I say.

Yes Cyclone it was hand held. I took around six shots and this came out the best with just a touch of PS.

Mello, I understand the manual part but have no idea that a higher ISO + FNO would have been possible. I am still relatively brand new and this sounds like a trick of the trade to me. Next time I am in M/C I will try it on the same board.
Cheers

If you use a higher Fno the aperture will be smaller meaning you will have to use a longer shutter speed to let enough light in for a correct exposure,the longer time will allow the camera more time to focus on what is there therefore making the shot sharper.

As you shot this handheld using a longer speed would result in camera shake so the way to counteract this is to up the ISO so the camera's more sensitve to light hopefully giving you the speed you originally started at but with a smaller apperture allowing you to get more in focus.

Hope this makes sense...
