Busa) Organization: Dept. of Biology, The Johns Hopkins University Lines: 22 A short but detailed discussion of tricks for photographing video monitors can be found in the book: Video Microscopy by Shinya Inoue Plenum Press, NY 1986 (see pp. 423-432) This work also cites an Eastman Kodak booklet (which I've not seen), entitled "Photographing Television Images" I've found it helpful to use a zoom telephoto lens (80 - 200 mm), thus setting the camera as far away from the monitor as possible, reducing the effects of screen curvature. -- Dr. William Busa, Dept. of Biology, The Johns Hopkins University, Charles & 34th Sts., Baltimore, MD 21218 (301) 338-8207 bio_zwbb@jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu uunet!mimsy!jhunix!bio_zwbb Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
