Thanks, Debra

Glare and blur. The double-whammy.

I open all the blinds in my studio, and turn on the overhead light - all so I can get enough light into the camera so the photo doesn't come out dark, and even more blurry.

It wasn't so bad before I applied retouch varnish - that really makes for bad glare. I tried shooting from an angle - that does serve to eliminate most of the worst of it, but then the image is blurry and out-of-whack. Then it's a matter of dinking with the image in Photoshop until I think it's correct.

I've seen the diagrams in the photography threads regarding outdoor lighting - umbrellas, etc. Eventually, I suppose, I'll need to invest in that sort of thing.

You're shooting slides of your work? Is that the source of your confidence shake-up?
