I purchased a Finepix S1500 to take photographs of my oil paintings. The camera is great but I had some glare where the lights reflected off the paint. I am going to try your great solution with the plastic and the light bulbs! I used regular house light bulbs and I think this might be where my glare came from. Thank you for posting!

I needed this info on photographing art. But I wanted it from a real person, not a professional that has thousands invested in equipment. Using a closet is a great idea, if I had one. Thanks so much for explaining the window shade. Great idea. Glad you like your new camera. I hate my tripod (a good one) so I bought a stick pod. Much easier to use. And me and the cat don't trip on it... or my husband. thanks for sharing all the information.... PJ So glad I subscribed to your blog! I needed this info on photographing art.

And what a nice thing to ask! I think we need to give ourselves three months for this project. My daughter has book design experience, since she worked in the publishing department at Microsoft. That's really going to help - she was really sweet to offer to help. I've published two books myself, but they were ordinary black and white books without illustrations - and we're discovering that printing in color is a whole 'nother issue. Hence, the new camera... I will be making an announcement when the book is done. And I'm sure I'll write a number of posts between now and then, just to let everyone know how we're getting on with it. Stay tuned...

By the way do you have any idea about when your book will be ready for purchasing by the public? I need to set up a book budget and save some money for this. I love your work and definately want your book. I think everything looks great!!!

Dogs do warm the place up, but they make a lousy carpet - so many lumps to trip over! Yeah – I sometimes think we all spend our lives in my tiny office.
