I don't think you can avoid losing the thinnest lines--unless you did the drawing on graphic reproduction paper, which you are not. Don't sweat the thin lines John.

I think the main problem I have is in reducing the pictures size by 400%, many of the lines that are a tenth of a millimetre on the original, just vanish on the blog copy. But as you say, that's of no importance ...just bloody annoying.<br /><br />Still, having finished Richmond Castle, I'm now doing a dock scene which is much smaller and darker ... I'll just see how that works.Gatepost productionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061920423331681586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-61695214904782854642012-04-25T12:14:16.909-04:002012-04-25T12:14:16.909-04:00Photographing artwork John is difficult without pr...Photographing artwork John is difficult without professional camera equipment. We do the best we can with our digital and our elementary computer picture programs with their limited tools--auto fix and adjustment. <br /><br />With black and white or shades of gray work, laying the piece on the floor or outside on cement in an open shaded spot is good with the camera horizontally positioned as parallel as possible directly above it.(Sometimes you have to tilt the camera lens slightly down or up to square up the piece and avoid parallax lines. I've often thought I should use my tripod, but I'm too lazy and a blog photo isn't all that important (UNLESS it's purpose is to sell the work). Then I set no flash, and set the "portrait" position for take one, then "text" for take two. In the computer, I've found that simply clicking the auto fix will do it-- produce an evenly lighted, nice black and white reproduction. The portrait setting does better than the text--on pencil, charcoal--mediums that smudge. Pen should work great if you're shading with dots, hatching or cross hatching. As I said it takes some fooling around. For blog picture I mostly use my Minolta; For more serious photos, I use the Nikon. The Minolta is small and compact; the NiKon bulkier.<br /><br />With these babies the portrait is much warmer and the highlights are more visible, but this is not a finished photograph. It was taken in my studio, with the painting on the slanted easel under warm incandescent lighting with no flash. When I'm ready to shoot the finished painting, I'll take it outdoors in open shade. Hopefully I get a truer rendition of the tonal values in the skin? For today, I just wanted to show I have been moving along on this painting. <br /><br />Blogger doesn't always work as we expect--with regards to what's showing on your page.
