Whilst I have had some success taking 35mm photographs straight from a 21 inch monitor it always seems a bit hit and miss! I normally take several shots of each screen image using a range of shutter speeds/exposures however quite a few end up with a gray diagonal band showing. Can anyone advise on the best speed to avoid this scan line effect, there must be a way as "some" of the shots turn out as sweet as a nut. (You guessed, whilst I am bracketing the shutter speeds I haven't been keeping a record to let me match up to the photo's afterwards, and I have some more to do tomorrow)
