    what do you use to take pictures with?

    recently everyone is saying my pictures of my cards are bad and they could not see the card clearly. I have been using my iphone for a while , but then i spent $100 on a new camera and the picture still looks the same:(.. I do not have a scanner and it seems like most people do. let me know what you guys use and if you have any suggestions for me. thanks!
    heres a picture of a random card with my new camera.

    I went through the same problem. Couldn't get a lot of sales done because I was using my web cam to take pictures with. I decided to invest in a Kodak all in one printer/scanner and everything looks great now.

    I think the problem is the glare and light issues and not the camera(s) you are using. A scanner is the way to go but for now I would take the cards out of the card holders. My camera has a setting for taking pics up close so you should check yours.

    Good luck!

    i always use my iPhone 4s when taking photos. and never had any problems. make sure to have a dark background when taking pics, and dont use the flash, and also be sure to be in a room with alot of light.

    the photos below are taken with my iphone 4s, in my kitchen with only a light over my head, and no flash on the phone. i was in a rush when taking these pictures, so they did not come out great, the second pic is taken at my desk at work.
