How do I take a decent photo of a CRT for a tutorial?
I am trying to finish my Cluster Install Tutorial and when I take a photo of the monitor (a crt), there are black bars in the photo (a 1/3 of the screen). How do I get around this?
Since it is at the rocks install screen, there is no way to change the frequency and no way to just do a screen cap.
Do I need to start mucking with the shutter speed or something? (tried a little bit but saw no difference)
Thanks!

Shutter speed man. Take a long exposure without flash. You're capturing the screen refreshing.

I'd go with SgtM's suggestion...
Or if you really want to hack it:
- Snap various pictures
- review pictures for the black bars' position
- make a Artistic copy/paste/move/cut/undo/paste/copy/cut/repaste masterpiece without the black bars

Once I took a picture of a CRT and the flash somehow froze the pixels in real life. It was only temporary but still weird. Anyone know what was up with that?

People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

You could always use the "Print Screen" button to take a screenshot and then paste it into MS Paint and save it or something. That's what I'd do for that.

I'd go with xRyokenX and hit the "Print Screen" button.

I hate HP. Yet here I am, using a HP G60 Series notebook with an HP desktop sitting at my home desk.... But the best part is that it was all free. Now slowly switching to Dell stuff!
