What is the most effective way to photograph a baseball?
I am thinking of putting some autographed baseballs up for auction. The problem is, in my photos they wash out and the signature can not be seen very well.
I have a nice Cannon EOS and a smart phone that normally takes excellent pictures. Not being much of a photographer, what is the best method to digitally capture these balls? |

If you have to use a camera, turn the flash off for one. Put the ball against a black or dark background, a dark towel works fine.
Better still, if you have a flat-bed scanner (stand-alone, not an all-in-one printer/scanner) balls scan very nicely inside a ball cube. You leave the top open and you get a nice dark background. |
