[HNW] Oxburgh snails

[Carol Thomas]

Some SLR digital cameras can be quite good.  I took a couple hundred 
photos in the V&A textile study room a few years back.  The color 
values were a problem in a number of them due to the low-light 
conditions, but the clarity was excellent.  In many, you can not only 
count the stitches, but see the twist in the thread.
