Photographing TFT screen

PeterH148385 · Sep 24, 2003

I take digital and want to take transparencies of my images. I thought i could photograph my computer screen which is a 17" TFT screen.

Can anyone help me with technique? I am worried about colour casts and whether i will need a filter.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you even tried taking a photo of it yet? You shooting digital so its not like you will be wasting film...

Framer, read the post again. He'd be doing exactly that: wasting film if they do not turn out well, which thay will not

Framer's question sounds OK to me ... he suggests to first try to shoot digital and look at the result before shooting with something else ...

Guess I lost it in his broken english, but it does say "I take digital" but it doesn't matter, hopefully someone can offer some assistance.
