No, work against the light is contraindicated. You will not get lively colors. Moreover, at low light digital cameras will start to give very noticeable digital noise and strongly lie in color. Nor will the lens with a large aperture. While your premise initially seems right and logical. I tried the lens with bright F2 (smaller the number, the more lumens) - better find problematic. And there are better lenses already 1000-2000-3000 U.S.. But there is no sense to buy them - just need to correctly set the light.

1) This book I have found. Basically they're talking about shooting architecture. After examining the text, is forced to note that it is quite outdated, age 30-40. We consider a black and white photography of paintings on the film. Some ideas for the arrangement of light and relevant now, but in general, unfortunately, is not it. Let me say that I am in no way accusing you of old age in this book, simply stating a fact. In any case, thank you for your help and attention, as some sensible ideas I found in the text.

Note that 20-30-40 years ago, the requirements for taking pictures were totally different. This is largely determined by the capabilities of the Soviet printing. Look albums of the time: mostly reproductions of black and white, on the whole album, only a few pasted color illustrations. The quality is very low for modern requirements. What can I say! Even the albums that were issued in 80 of the 20 century in the West is of high quality printing in its modern understanding.

2) do not agree. Umbrella or diffuser type soft box gives a more even and soft light. They are also good to vary to emphasize the texture of the painting. It is believed that typically the light source is slightly above and left of the artist when he drew a picture. Gagman wrote:
"To find the correct position of the light source in relation to the picture, try to reproduce that character lighting, in which the artist worked on it. Usually, it was a soft diffused light for a small study, write directly on the nature, and for a larger picture soft day light from the window of the shop, falling on the surface of paintings mostly on the left and slightly above. It is obvious that the character of lighting in which the relief pattern was created and evaluated by its author, should be repeated whenever possible and taking pictures of this product. "

This must be done so that the light from the left side was stronger than the right. There are several ways to achieve this:
a) Put the light source on the left and slightly upward. On the right side spotlight now with a simple reflector, which may be a blank sheet of drawing paper size you want or a piece of white cloth. This is the budget option, but not quite suitable for large canvases the size of 1,5-2 meters wide.
b) left to put impulstnuyu flash lamp or constant light (spotlight) with soft-box or with an umbrella on clearance. Right - the same lamp or flash with an umbrella in the reflection. Umbrella reflection will lower the flow of light.
It is not so expensive - the universal umbrella (on reflection and in transmission) can be bought around 1000 rubles. a diameter of 110-120 see themselves electricians will cost more, if anyone interested, I can tell you more.
This set will simplify the life of the photographer, if you want to shoot pictures continuously.

3) reasonable advice.

4) Glare can remove almost everything. But it is difficult.

5) Exactly. Short-focus lens will give a big barrel distortion, which can be corrected by software (converters) that come bundled with SLR cameras. But a more reasonable long-focus the lens to physically reduce these distortions. It seems to me to take a SLR camera is convenient to use a lens with variable focal length (known as zoom). Then do not have to rearrange heavy tripod when changing the picture on the picture a different size. For the "reflex" best use of the lens with focal length 18-55 mm (for Crop camera it will be about 28-80mm. The equivalent film camera 35 mm). It is best to shoot at medium focal lengths, since the extreme regimes tend to give more distortion at low-cost lenses.

6) Scanner - a great solution for small oil works and graphics. But I would not do with the scanner work more size A4 or A3 - who has a scanner at home there.
Scan parts - a long time and can damage the surface of the picture due to the movement pattern of the scanner. To photograph the great works will still be easier.

Personally for myself I came to the same conclusion. Do photographers is that they make more clear pictures than the Canon, and are more natural color. In addition, regular cheap lenses from Nikon is much better than regular cheap lenses from Canon. Therefore advantageous to buy a set (called KIT) of the SLR camera (called a "body" or "Bird") and standard zoom lens-type AF-S 18-55 DX VR F3 ,5-5, 5G.

In terms of quality and financial viability, I chose NIKON D5000 kit AF-S 18-55 DX VR. 12 MP is enough. Its price in Moscow from 23 to 25 thousand rubles. It is cheaper to buy in the shops, if they do not cheat, of course.

However, nothing bad to say about other Nikon cameras or Canon. In the end, someone like that, and what money is in the bag. The least expensive "SLR" in the set with "whale" lens will cost about 20 thousand rubles. Dear prof. cameras can cost 200-300 thousand rubles only for the "body" without the lens.

Disagree. If you shoot dozens of pictures at once, it greatly simplifies the tripod - no need to keep on the weight of a heavy vehicle.

There are lenses with aperture 1.7. And the budget. SLR cameras - the last century. Personally, I plzuyus this http://www.olympus.com.ru/consumer/21693_pen-camera_e-p1_21723 . htm. Allows you to shoot with his hands in any circumstances. For printing eat-but need at least some conditions.
