[QUOTE="Fred Kingston, post: 761610, member: 10742"] A flash would be helpful, but there are so many variables that we don't know about. Museums panic when they see/hear about a flash. If he can't use a flash, then he'll have to shoot with a tripod... again, it all depends on the available lighting. His post raises more questions than answers. Is this a one off project, or an on-going project to shoot many paintings? Are these in museums? Are these paintings out in the open, or behind glass barriers? What kind of lighting is available? Can a tripod and flash be used? Are these available to use? What sounds simple on the surface can be complicated based on the details. He says he tried this already and wasn't happy with the result. What were the results? What was the issue? Too dark? Wrong colors? Glare? Wrong focal length/composition? [/QUOTE]
