Submissions now being taken, until 17th April.  Just send up to 3 pieces of artwork to Karen Carr [email protected] 

Thank you to everyone that have sent me their artwork for the Online Exhibition so far.
 
Some members have been finding it difficult to take photographs of their art whilst in the frame because of reflection problems.  Below are a few tips that may help you.  These have come from members and Bishops Stortford Art Society online exhibition organiser.

• Use indirect light, not bright sunlight.
• If possible, remove the glass from framed paintings, otherwise try and have a dark wall behind the camera to reduce the reflections.
• Pick a wall out of direct light seems to be the best way.
• In my hall way away from windows, but still light. also, if you lay it flat somewhere
• You still need to have good light. But it needs to be filtered light.
• I kept moving them round the room down on the carpet till there was no reflection. I found it better from above 
• Use the highest quality settings on your camera, mobile phone, or flatbed scanner.
• Leave a gap around the artwork.

Also take note of last suggestion, leaving a gap around artwork, this allows for cropping around the image, to keep the work looking straight when putting on the online gallery page.
