Thanks for the tips and sharing your experience. I will try that with the next photo.R.

I ...Hi Renee, Thanks for the post on my blog today. I answered you there if you care to go look! About photographing your work did you take the painting by a window or outside in open shade? I take all my own photos of my work and I think you'll agree they look pretty ok. I sometimes have to nudge the colour or contrast with my iPhoto program but not much. I tried the whole thing with light set ups, using a gray card, etc., etc. and nothing worked until a friend told me she just takes her work to a window or out in open shade. It works especially well at mid day. The important thing is that the light needs to be even...no hotspots of light or cold shadows on it. And NO need for expensive equipment other than a decent camera. And keep your work STRAIGHT when lining it up in the viewfinder. Also, I know Sandy Byers work too...she is terrific!Karen Martin Sampsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180294856179918446noreply@blogger.com
