Believe me, if I can do it, you can, too. Use a sturdy tripod with tilt and rotation and a cable release or self-timer to reduce risk of camera shake. For slides, I use 3200K tungsten Ektachrome Professional films, ISO 100, which can be processed in 3 hours. If I need to re-shoot, I can often do it the same day. For prints indoors with lights, I use an 80A conversion filter and ISO 200-400 film.
Procedures Fasten art to a flat, black background with double-stick tape, tacks or use a black mat.
Place on the wall or on an easel. The art must be parallel to the camera lens, the center of the lens pointing at the center of the art. Use a bubble level to be sure camera and art are level. Lamps should be 4-5 feet away from the art, behind the camera at 45 degree angle on each side and at the same height as the camera. The room should be completely dark when you shoot.
