photographing a computer screen?
Now, I know I could do a screen capture, but I was wondering if anyone had
any ideas on how best to photograph a computer screen. Saw a very nice pic on a newspaper today. Shallow depth of field - far greater "feel" than could be generated with software from the contents of a screen capture. Any ideas? Hugh |

You get 100% resolution, 0% distortion, perfect color representation, what more could you want? :-) -- Judson McClendon (remove zero) Sun Valley Systems http://sunvaley.com "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." |
You won't need much depth of field if it's flat then ! :)

Hugh Do you have an LCD monitor? I just picked up my camera and took a picture with my little Nikon 3200. It's fine; no bands or anything but with a CRT, I'd use an exposure several times the refresh rate. -- James V. Silverton Potomac, Maryland, USA |
