Here is an improved version, this time shot using dual tungsten reflector lights in a studio. Details are crisper and the color much improved -- no washout and very close to the original.
distance camera to subject: 178cm
distance lights to subject @ 45 deg: 200cmThis is a gigapan study of a small thangka -- a canvas scroll painting that I purchased during a 2007 visit to Kathmandu, Nepal. Thangkas are created by anonymous (in this case, Tibetan) Buddhist monk-artists as both a record of, and guide for, contemplative experience. This 40x40 cm piece is a mandala, the "floorplan of the universe." At the center is the Endless Knot, an important tantric symbol.
