Flash is a big no - no...
I find taking a 45-60 degree angled shot usually gets a good photo.
For straight on shots, the best is if you have a camera with a night
shot feature no-flash, it keeps the iris open longer and you can usually
get a very good photo.

Recent discussion about photographing machines prompted

Has anyone got any useful tips for photographing (with a digital camera)
running machines such that whatever's on the screen is captured with
some kind of decent quality?
I've been playing around with all the manual settings on my camera and
just experimenting (using any kind of auto mode results in banding on
the computer's display, and of course use of flash is no use for a shot
of a glass screen). So far results have been mixed though...
Any useful hints much appreciated!
cheers
