|
|
I have been very neglegent about taking screens shots of my blend, so this weekend I will be borrowing a Canon Rebel T2I SLR camera to finally do it. Unfortunately, this is new to me, so can anyone tell me how I go about taking good screen shots?
Thanks,
Bob

first, pause the video when you want to take a photo, don't use flash  , but use a tripod, and use 1-3 sec delayed exposure. This is my advice

Let me know how that canon DSLR works out for you, I will be looking forward to some good screens, Canons are TOTL cameras, I have been thinking about getting a new camera and a DSLR at that since my Canon SD800 IS has started to develop red pixel spots on my photos, plus it would be nice to get into some high end DSLR equipment as well.
Also a tripod is a MUST for anyone who is even mildly serious about taking a good photo. so if you can get a tripod to use from your friend, then do that for sure!
And one more thing.. If your room allows it, set the camera far enough back to where you can zoom in with the OPTICAL zoom to make the image not appear bubbled i the center (or so it doesn't look like an old 80's tv tube shape from the front). You will get a much more square image that way.
Spend some time playing with the camera, I am sure it will take you a bit since its a DSLR and they are loaded with features and buttons galore. nevertheless, if you can do color calibration, you can do DSLR cameras!!
Good luck!!

Hey old fart!
Set the dial on the Canon to TV ( time value ). Try 1/2 a second, 1 second, 1.5 seconds, and 2 seconds to start.
Tripod mounted, front of the camera lens parallel to the screen, from the back of the room and zoom in to fill the camera's screen side to side.
