Hi,
I recently bought a Digital Rebel XT (with the stock 18-55 mm lense) and am trying to take pictures of my wifes' oil paintings so that she can generate a webpage. Anyways, I looked through the archives and found some information about copy stands but some of her paintings are too large for them (3' x 4' is around the largest).
It seems like the easiest way would be to take photos of them hanging on the wall, but I'm at a loss for the best way to light them. I've played with the White Balance and the pictures I got were all too yellow (the lighting was incandescent), or if I used the flash I got horrible reflections because of the texture in the painting.
Any quick pointers?
Thanks,
-Derek
P.S. Yes this is my first post, so be easy on me. :-)
