Don't take it personally but ...

... The photo ain't great. I like your gear though.

Some problems with the pic:

  • Not enough light overall: this makes the picture grainy and reduces the resolution.
  • The lighting is too contrasty, especially given that the main light source is behind the components. Thus the speakers for example tend to look like black blobs
  • The picture is not level, i.e. it's slightly tilted; this isn't so obvious in you main photo but is painfully obvious in some of the others you have provided.

    I have some simple suggestions:

  • Place a lamp or two in front of the components
  • To prevent fibration, set you camera on tripod and use the self-timer to delay the shutter release
  • Alternatively, use a flash to illuminate the scene. Even the camera's built-in flash would produce a better result than we're seeing
  • It's difficult to get photo precisely level: sse a simple photo editor to level the shot. Irfanview is such a simple editor and it's free.
