| Q19: | How can I take photos of fractals? |
| A19: | Noel Giffin gets good results with the following setup: Use 100 ISO |
(ASA) Kodak Gold for prints or 64 ISO (ASA) for slides. Use a long lens |
(100mm) to flatten out the field of view and minimize screen curvature. Use |
f/4 stop. Shutter speed must be longer than frame rate to get a complete |
image; 1/4 seconds works well. Use a tripod and cable release or timer to get |
a stable picture. The room should be completely blackened, with no light, to |
prevent glare and to prevent the monitor from showing up in the picture. |
You can also obtain high quality images by sending your Targa or GIF images |
to a commercial graphics imaging shop. They can provide much higher resolution |
images. Prices are about $10 for a 35mm slide or negative and about $50 for a |
high quality 4x5 negative. |
