How to shoot Scroll

[vinlow]

Hi All,

Would like to have the advice of fellow Csers on how to improve the shoot of a Chinese Scroll. I tried some shots but must say that all are quite poorly done but have run out of idea how to improve. I attached a shot of a Rolled Up, shot was taken at home, light from window. Exif: Av 2.0, TV 1/200, 50mm F1.8 lens, ISO 400, WB Auto.



Thanks in advcane for all the advice.

maybe can unroll and shoot it at low angle?

Thanks Redsun,

Do you mean low angle from right to left or top to bottom?
I did tried right to left, the perspective kind of "no right" and the tone of the scroll is uneven. The scroll is 70cm long. should I use large aperture so to be in focus for all the words?
