 | Another shot (different painting), taken with a flash to try and lighten the images a bit. Yikes, check out that nasty glare, especially seen in the lower left of the painting. What to do, what to do?! |
 | Believe it or not, a much better place to shoot is outdoors, in natural light. I find that if I drag my paintings up to our patio, I can take advantage of natural light and get *much* better results. Overcast days are actually better! |
 | If the sun is out, try to find a nice shady spot. This will allow you to shoot without having direct sunlight get in the way, but also take advantage of reflected natural light in the area. |
 | Once I've located my shady spot, I place my paintings against the wall, at a slight angle. The angle should allow the painting to run perfectly parallel to your camera (as the paintings are on the ground, you are likely leaning over them with a camera).
Sometimes, I'll even line several finished paintings up together. This works great as my digital camera has great resolution, so I can actually capture multiple pieces in one shot. :-) |
| Tip: It is important to ensure your pieces are lined up appropriately - it will make image cropping *much* easier later. |
