I left a long list of stuff... I guess it was bout a year ago, on how to shoot pictures professionally. Others will disagree... but I know my shizzle.
The main thing is to do it outside on an overcast day. No direct light. Tripod is a must. If you have to do it digital (I wouldn't), use the highest resolution possible... when you have those... save them... then make a seperate list of the same pictures but take them down to a 72 resolution for the web (your computer screen cannot project images beter than 72 resolution, so there is no point in making them any higher).
I think the original post I left the tips under (about a year ago) was originally posted by Insura. Look in the search option for it. If you take photos indoors... you NEED to use tungstun film and tungstun lighting. Lad says to use the "reveal" light bulb... however... that will not result in professional color. Regardless of its claims.. it still casts a yellow color over everything. TRUST ME! All lights except tungstin (sp?) cast green or yellow light. If you aren't picky... go with reveal lightbulbs.
Hang a dark ironed black cloth behind your painting and when taking the photo... walk your eye around the edges to make sure they are evenly spaced from side to side and from top to botom. I'll look for that other post a little later in the day.
Life is good when you can stand up and pee.
When you get your film developed.. make sure you get it done by a place that checks their chemical ph and balance at least 3 times a day... otherwise the dye will develope the colors into heavy magentas or blues. Usaully professional photo places do this. but as anyway.
