How do you take good color screen shots?

[Phil Nelson]

An interesting idea, which would be easy enough to do with my film camera.

Since you need two photos taken from exactly the same vantage point, it probably wouldn't work with my digi-camera. If I turn it on and take a photo, then leave it unattended for more than about 30 seconds, it turns off to conserve battery power. Which zooms the lens back to resting position, so your chances of re-zooming back to the exact previous position are fairly slim.

I have done something similar in a couple of cases. When I got a good shot except that the screen was too blue, I captured the screen portion, changed it from color to monochrome, then pasted it back into the screen. I suspect that Sonny did that as well. I don't like doctoring photos in general, but that was the only way I could figure out to present what the TV actually looked like when playing.
