[78-L] Respectable images

[Tim Huskisson]

This Ebay seller's written descriptions are honest, if a little vague, but
his pictures speak for themselves.

I think too many Ebay sellers concentrate on the label, to the detriment of
all else.  Much better to provide an image of the entire record.  It helps
if you can put your camera, even if it's a point-N-shoot type, on a tripod
so it looks down onto the table where you position the record.  Don't use
ambient light as your only source of illumination, and fergawdsake don't use
a flash.  Get a flood light in a clamp-on fixture and let the light hit the
record from about a 45 degree angle from above, from about 2:00 or 10:00
from the record's surface.  This will illuminate the walls of the grooves
well and give a reasonable impression of what the disk looks like.
