    i dont know i watched them weigh it. it was about 94-95LBS. there is different density of rock, or maybe the scale was broken, also there is some rock in the back that is hard to see. at any rate i plan on adding more just a money issue.

    Joe what camera do you have?
    Several things I can suggest off the bat.
    It appears your white level is no set. Try playing with the white level settings of your camera.

    Focus.
    Depending on your camera's Macro features, but most cameras have a minimum focus distance of 3.5 feet (without Macro)
    also if you are able to see the shutter speed of the picture you are taking. Just remember that without a tripod it is impossible to hand hold anything slower that 1/60th of a second without getting blur.
    Finally do you have any image editing software like Adobe Photo Shop?
