Greetings. A question for those of you who have taken pictures of your VGA screens. What exposure time is most appropriate? I know it needs to be long enough to avoid the screen retrace, but what is optimal? I recently took slides of some color diagrams done with the paint program included in Windows 3. I figured 1/8 second should be adequate, yet the slides demonstrated broad diagonal swaths of darker colors that appear to be retrace related. Otherwise, the results were quite nice using the Zenith FTM monitor. Thanks for the help. I'd rather not have to use another roll of film experimenting with various exposure times!
