Which picture is best for Id

[davesnothere]

Opaque and semi always come out dark with a ring light.

How do you handle this.

 

1. Lightbox , ring light

2. Outside sunny

3. Indoors florescent overhead

Hi Davesnothere, I use a darker background. If you're using your cellphone camera and have white in your background, your camera is overcompensating for the white background, making the entire photo dark. 
If you use a darker background, Black or Gray, the phone camera will show the colors of the marble better.

@Alan good information thanks. 

Not  doing any post editing. 

I think my phone handles the wb fairly good with a mixed grey card.

I do shoot with a dslr as a hobby well did untill my health got in the way.

macro pictures the pinhole lenses on phone are perfect for this type of photography and easy to load online.
