Screenshots - Blu-ray Forum

allstar780 · 05-30-2009, 06:14 AM

I was just wondering what kind of camera/tools everyone uses to take screenshots? I use my Lumix G1 for the screenshots in my gallery, I know a few folks round these parts use Nikon D40's or D60's and the like... but everyone who has screenshots tell us how you do them! I would like to see how various techniques/cameras compare so feel free to show examples too!

Display is a 720p DLP front projector
Camera a Fuji F11

Settings for the camera are ISO80 (lowest), F/2.8 (aperture fully opened) and about one second exposure time. Post processing with the GIMP as needed (mostly correcting the geometry caused by the tilted camera, and applying a contrast mask).

I just got to say I love the split screen picture in your gallery. The LCD/Plasma split is very telling. The plasma gives a much more deep, rich image. It's the first one I've seen like that and just thought I'd say nice job
