I shot my monitor screen (and scenes including a monitor screen) at
1/8s with ordinary average metering (OM-1) and it came out fine.
Provided you use a shutter speed longer than the scan time, shoot a
monitor screen just the way you would shoot any other still-life.
> Which film speed?
I was using 400 neg film (because that's what I had in the camera at
the time). I just checked the -ves (Fuji Superia and Kodak T400CN)
and the exposure looks good, text is quite readable.
I reckon any 100ISO or slower slide film would do well.
Here's a nutty idea: What about inverting the colours on the monitor,
shooting B&W neg and projecting the negs? Prolly cheaper than
slides...
(Anybody tried that?)
How about biasing the colours on the monitor so that you could get
a colour neg that looks like a chrome? Now *that* would be a hack!
