I originally put this with a post on saving for web but I think this is a bit different.
If I shoot a big painting, the resolution of detail – brushstrokes, canvas, imperfections adds to the overall feel of the image. If I shoot a tiny/small image with the same lens/camera and it fills the screen those details look like a relief map of the Himalayas! Can I get around that? I notice that sharpening can make a difference but what are the principles here?
There’s something going on when you photograph a painting that’s say 2 meters wide and then next one is 20 cm. What sort of things should I be aware of when absolute accuracy in reproduction is the ideal?
I know also that lighting is important but I struggle with limitations of equipment. I just have three flashes and my best attempt has been to put the two off camera at sort of 45 degrees with one in the middle bouncing up. Sorry if that last part is more about photography that PS but I’m guessing there might be a few photographers out there 😉
Thanks
