alas, photographing is my best kept secret for fine art work in my house. I’ve photographed original oils,posters, paintings in books, and even drawings and enlarged them and printed them on canvas and everyone is fooled into thinking they are extremely high end. You just have to have a high aperture setting (f8 ish) and shutter speed on your camera (at least 1/500) Tripods also help if the shutter is too slow and making a blurry picture as does the ability to shoot in manual mode. But I’m also a pro photographer with nice gear. In the end, you’re probably right, non photographers might have the most success scanning:) ha ha! But don’t disregard this option for other projects. It’s a great trick.

What I thoughtful gift, Jennifer! Go for it! ;}

Thank you, Anna!

Thanks for the suggestion, Brooke! It’s definitely something to consider. Though through my experience, I feel a need to clarify, a clearer image is when something is directly scanned, even if you have an awesome camera – and if you have it professionally printed on good stock, the price won’t be that different. A canvas is a great suggestion to consider- its all in the look you’re going for! ;}
