Taking photos of displays...

Both true. I was actually being a bit too abbreviated. I was assuming you'd be using normal lighting, under which circumstances the only problem with an ordinary digital snap would be the banding on the CRT. And if they're all decent pictures except for the banding, averaging is a decent tack to take. (Assuming of course that the camera's "shutter" timing is random with respect to the monitor's vertical scan, which is probably a reasonable assumption.) After all, long exposure makes the picture more exposed (as compared to a shorter exposure, other things constant); slow film makes the picture less exposed (as compared to a faster film, other things constant). So you long exposure plus slow film adds up to wanting the "normal" lighting conditions. And that kind of lighting is what you want for a digital camera anyway. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
