:Here's how I get 24 bit photographs of my images from my 8 bit Sun screen
:(The basic idea is to triple expose the film, once with each R,G,B channels).

You can also get pretty good results just shooting off the monitor.  I
routinely make slides here with Ektachrome 100 and a 200mm Macro Nikor.
Off our Barco and Sony RGB monitors I wind up with 1 second at f5.6.
Back in 1984 I shot "The Adventures of Andre & Wally B" by setting a
Mitchell with an animation motor right in front of a 512 x 488 Barco.
It turned out better than it should have.

Better systems will get you better pictures, but you'll be amazed
how well simple setups work.
