I just got a VGA compatible board for my PC and I was looking for
some advice on how to photograph the screen either with a 35mm
or a Poloroid camera. My previous experiences were not that
successful. I haven't seen any articles discussing this in computer
magazines, even in review of presentation graphics software.
Has their been any discussion of this in photography magazines?

I remember seeing some ads for hoods that you can use to cover the
Monitor while you are shooting. Do these help? Could I make something
just as good with a piece of cardboard? Where do I get them?

Does a Poloroid camera work well in photographing the screen? Do I have
to use a particular model to focus that close? How about making slides?

I would appreciate any advice anyone could give me.
