[QUOTE="Amen-Moses, post: 359424, member: 114"] Not sure where best to ask this so let's start here. I want to take a picture of my computer (either the PowerMac or MacBook Pro) complete with image on the monitor whilst also including in the picture a second monitor which has a shiny black surround. I have a Canon EOS 400D and if I try this on auto setting I either get the second monitor image too bright so that the computer is hardly visible or the black surround showing reflections and the background is so dark it looks like the image is floating in space. What I need to know is how best to do this, should I do it in daytime and just try to reduce reflections? If I do will the image on screen be visible enough, should I use a tripod and turn the brightness down on the monitors then use a longer exposure time? If anyone else has done this and has some tips I'd be grateful. Amen-Moses [/QUOTE]
