your camera where you think the bird will be and then

6. Mount your camera on a tripod. This will ensure that the picture is sharp.
7. Zoom in so that the subject fills the frame. If you have a lot of white space around the
object, it will be hard to spot when reduced to the size at which it will be displayed in
your eBay listing.
8. Turn the camera vertically when photographing objects that are taller than they are wide.
9. If you sell a lot of items on eBay, purchase a cube soft box, such as the one shown.
Place the object you want to photograph inside the cube, and place a light overhead,
or place a light on each side of the cube. You can also use the cube soft box outside
on a bright sunny day. The fabric diffuses the light, producing a soft, shadow-free light
that is perfect for photographing objects.
