[QUOTE="slsl6, post: 761649, member: 49470"] The problem with my attempts is that the results don't capture of effect of the painting at all, the colors are muddy or wrong, details are lost, the colors in various layers of paint are separated, etc. if you look at the actual painting and then at the photo, it's night and day. Now this is a complaint I've heard from many artists, but when i visit various artists' websites, they all have really great photos with none of the issues that I'm experiencing. Granted, I'm not a pro photographer and don't have pro equipment, so... Here's a photo of a painting that came out O.K. (taken with the d70s kit lens)--it's no doubt a bit underexposed but I like it this way and it's grainy, probably due to lower light. [/QUOTE]
