Nikon Umbrella Kit
Tips for taking photos of the paintings?
I have to shoot some pictures for the portfolio and I need to do so soon. I recently purchased a Nikon D40x SLR kit Black 10.2 MP Digital Camera w / 18-55mm lens, but we know very little about photography and while I'm willing to learn is a bit confusing. Is the function self in this stand? Also, what about lighting? I've seen some people shine a light on an umbrella and it bounces off him on the subject. With no appropriate materials and broke now, the camera was the last thing I bought on a credit card with 12 months without paying, use a bright light and an umbrella provide a similar effect real?

It aims to even the lighting, so move the lights around until you get it right .. As you can guess, the creation of a site for the paintings so you can leave the lights more or less anywhere. Camera September the BM incandescent and then make changes + / - to get your color correction to perfection. umbrella have some real color to them, so they will the colors of the images.
