So for the first time I have a bunch of stuff for sale on Ebay... No big deal really... I have however discovered one of the reasons that so many of the pictures suck... I'm not talking about the people that take a bad picture to hide defects... Just the ones that look like someone never before used a camera...
The ebay helpful guide to selling crap tells people to avoid the flash... They also like to recommend a black background... So you put the two together, and you end up with pictures so dark, you can barely see what is in them...
Hell people, even if you're using a film camera, you can still take a good picture... Be safe, take one with, and one without the flash... Pick the one that actually comes out... People have been using cameras a long time, and there seem to be good photos from throughout history, as a culture, we should be able to handle taking a picture of something to get it on ebay for cripes sake...
