OK so I\'m not a complete noob, but I\'m still VERY interested in what people have to say about photographing pieces of artwork.
Here\'s my situation:
My father wants me to photograph around 120 pieces of art work, lithographs, prints, paintings behind glass etc... These photographs will end up in a small-ish book. (None bigger than 8.5x11)
The lighting is BAD. It\'s ceiling bulbs in a house and the ceiling is brown wood.
Do you guys have any pointers for this? The prints are being put on the floor one at a time, and I have to photograph them. None will be printed in a boo
Here\'s my plan:
White balance beforehand to make life easier. Use my 50mm 1.4 @ f2 - 2.5 (depending on light), at around ISO 800-1600. No flash, of course. This seems to work for me in my head.
Do any of you have any pointers. I REALLY don\'t want to mess this up!
Thanks!
