[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 175352, member: 6277"] There is no way anyone can tell you what exposure to use since there are no two setups that are the same. Lighting is different. Set up your art where you want to photograph it. Camera on a tripod if you can so you can get it exactly parallel so no distortion. Lights on. Set your camera on ISO 100 to start with. Set your aperture to F10 if that is where you want to start. Camera set on M. Now look in the viewfinder and adjust the shutter speed till the meter is centered. Now shoot and look and the LCD and see how it looks. Also look at the histogram and see if it looks correct. This will give you a good starting point. You may have to shoot 1 stop one way or the other to get it to match the art. [/QUOTE]
