Hi Allan,

I just have to join in and say how wonderful this painting is. It's very "Anders Zorn" in lighting and mood, and beautifully painted. I especially like how you've let the canvas help to create those blonde highlights.

Allan,

You really cannot shoot a painting, especially a coarse grained one without a polarizing lens as far as I know. I had mine originally shot by a professional with the new Nikon-Kodak 14000 pixel camera, no polarizer, result lots of grain and glare, great color. He thought it would work. Make sure your new Nikon takes a polarizer.

I re-shot my billboard (55"x 70") of a painting in my studio, facing large picture windows. Shooting outside in the shade would be the same. I tilted my painting down a bit as well. But what made the difference, besides the polarizing lens was the black velvet reducing any bounced light.

You can get bounce off cement, grass or even shiny asphalt.
My light beige studio rug was bouncing back glare.

Remind me of Robert Bruce Williams, a Norway origin, one of top popular names.

Come here and let Cynthia be your rep, see how many gold you can dig, maybe more than those on Camilla's hair.
