You need to insure that the camera is centered on the painting and the sensor is perfectly parallel to the painting surface. When he had to shoot animation cels (glossy acetate painted on the back) he would put polarizing gels over the lights and a polarizing filter on the camera.
My brother used to have a special effects animation house in Hollywood. (Impasto is thick paint layers that help give the work a 3-D texture.) Impasto looks best lit from above, as painted.

Next, is reflection from semi-shiney surfaces.(polarizer would help here) After that, in my case, the impasto areas need to be shot to their full advantage.

While it is an improvement over the canned profiles, skin tones could be better.

I have used the ColorChecker Passport with both software profile makers. I plan on trying it, but haven't gotten it yet. There have been reports that QPcard chart and software produces more accurate color. The color is a little different with each. The ColorChecker Passport can be used with the included X-Rite software, or the free Adobe DNG Profile Editor. If you are using Lightroom 4, or Photoshop CS5 or CS6, you can make camera color profiles with either a ColorChecker Passport or a QPcard and their free software. Some pigments don't translate to RGB very well (like cobalt blue). First you have color, which you can mitigate by including a color chart for print matching. Shooting an oil painting correctly is full of challenges. It is sharp for ultra-wide, but that doesn't hold up against a 60mm Micro. Very difficult to use filters with the 14-24, and a very bad choice for copy work. Both versions of the 60mm are still available.Īnyway, I asked about the 14-24 because that is the first "pro" lens I plan to buy to go with my D800. I would choose one of them over the 105mm. The 60mm Micro lenses were designed for copy work. I also have the 105mm Micro VR and find the 60mm to be much sharper. The AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED is supposed to be sharper. I modified it to work with current Nikons and found it to be less sharp than the AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D. Still have my Nikon F and 55mm Micro from 1970.

I think a combination of even downward light plus soft on each side would be the best for me. Lighting is something I really need to learn about. Like you would click on a face and it would fill your screen in rich detail.
My hope is to use the D800 to shoot a sharp, faithful image with the option to include zoom versions of certain areas on a website. This is expensive ($300 and up depending on size) and they can't ever get the impasto right. In the past I have used large flatbed scanning service.
I have the old 28-105mm micro, which I got years ago for this purpose. After I finish the painting I am now working on I can get both. The latest 60mm micro 2.8 is around $600, which is pretty reasonable. I suppose the Modern 60mm is that one upgraded.Īnyway, I asked about the 14-24 because that is the first "pro" lens I plan to buy to go with my D800. Thank you all for your help! I used to have a Micro 55mm on my very first Nikon F, back in the late 70's.
