Hey all, I have a few bats that are black and I am curious as to what kind of lighting you use when capturing ball marks and etc when you take a picture of your bat.

In particular, I have a bat used by Eric Hosmer and I think he has 2-HR's on the bat on July 24th of 2013 against Baltimore. But I just can't get that perfect angle. There is either a glare, or the bat isn't turned properly or whatever else. The other hinderence is also that the bat was pretty early in it's infancy so there is only a few marks to attempt the match.

Please let me know what you do to get that perfect picture of your black bat! Thanks in advance.
