that it often takes a little experimenting.
Outdoors I usually take a few pictures in different places, like low near grass with a dark background, on the porch with a white background, with my tripod with the camera using the 'time delay function' so that my finger doesn't move the camera blurring the image. Then I choose the best picture.
Also when indoors my kitchen has a bright flourescent light that puts too much glare on the picture (like a flash would do) but if it is daytime and enough light is coming in from the windows then the flourescent light doesn't cause glare, but if enough light doesn't enter the windows some of the colors in the picture won't accurately resemble the picture.
So find what works for you.
The picture below is one that I don't care about the resolution because I am not using it to make prints, so 70 resolution is fine. It is a painting I reacquired after it hung in someones house for twenty years. If I was seriously trying to sell it on the internet then I would be making sure the colors were accurately portrayed. Sometimes 'contrast and brightness functions' on something like photoshop can help make it a more accurate representation but hopefully the camera 'picture taking technique' won't require any touch-ups.
