I talked recently to a guy who teaches computer art.....he said that the
easiest way to get slides from computer images is to fill the computer
screen with the image just like you want it, turn off all the lights, focus
your camera so the image fills the slide film, put your timer on a
one-minute exposure and your aperture at f 11.

I haven't tried it yet. He says it works great.

O.K.
Now I understand what you want!
When I was I painter, I painted a lot of women, they all came from movies or
fashion show .
My technique was to take slides from video films.I had to do it while
running otherwise I got terrible slides.
That how you do it.
The camera, has to be able to capture the exact screen.
The room must be TOTALLY dark. You can keep with you a flash light and
magnifying glaze to see the numbers, if it is an old camera.
I don,t remember the speed but if you do it with a modern automatic camera
it is fine. Just remember to close the flash each time before you take a
picture. The camera must be on a tripod. If you can use a spring for softer
pressing do it.

Years ago Kodak made Instant Film before they were sued by Polaroid.
The Instant Film camera was mounted onto a black plastic, square, cone
shaped, mount that you would place against the TV screen. This solved three
problems, it sealed the screen from room light, it set the proper distance
to the camera, and made it steady to take the pic.
I'm sure you could make your own cone out of foam core (paint black) and
just bracket your shots and take notes so you can pinpoint the proper
settings next time.
It reminded me of the old timey box camera where they photographer had the
cloth draped over his head to keep the light out?
I tried this using 35mm film also.
Works great.

Hi Eleanora,

"I talked recently to a guy who teaches computer art.....he said that the
easiest way to get slides from computer images is to fill the computer
screen with the image just like you want it, turn off all the lights, focus
your camera so the image fills the slide film, put your timer on a

says it works great. <<

It might work well for other things but the resolution isn't high enough for
projecting your artwork. Someone tried it last year at the slide workshop.

But you're allowed to prove me wrong. Please.

This depends on what type of film you are using ASA wise. I had exposures more in
the 1/4 second at F4 ratio with 100 ASA film. Do test slides as the meter is not
accurate. Process works well though!
