Having trouble photographing my wife's oil paintings. I just can't get the camera to focus on them, manual or auto. I'm using a 60mm lens and D3200, two lights, tripod and a polarising filter. The paintings are minimalist, so there's very little to focus on especially in the middle. I've tried taping a cross on the painting's surface to get the lens to focus. I've used both single-point AF and Auto-area AF, as well as manual. The paintings are medium sized, which means with the 60mm lens, the camera is quite far from the paintings. This same set up works fine on my own paintings, which happen to have more lines, shapes and edges. Btw. I'm short-sighted, wear glasses and wondered if there's a problem here with the manual focusing?
What can I do? Thanks.
