πŸ“· Taking good photos

-Not too close, not too far

-Test at what distance your phone takes photos with the writing still quite clear (usually between 50cm and 1 meter)

-Take one side of a bookcase edge in the photo, it helps to find the books in the photos later

-Be sure to take the photo from the middle of where you want to frame, you want all the books to be legible, so you need to center the photo well

-Clean the lens well before taking photos

-Don't zoom in or out; zoom lenses often have poorer quality than the camera's basic x1

-It doesn't matter if your photos overlap a little, Biblioscan will only show you each unique book once

-Trembling as little as possible to keep the photo as blur-free as possible, (tip: buy a 5€-bluetooth-trigger on the internet when you've made your first sales, it helps a lot to take photos discreetly and sharper)
