rootCompute:\Messing around with some CRT photography, think I finally figured out this shutter speed thing on my phone. Have I mentioned that I love having a Trinitron now?
68000@rootcompute CRT displays are literally magic. I wish they were still being made, even if they weigh a ton.
@68000 Truly brings about a sense of wonder and awe that can't really be replicated with modern tech. Luckily they can still be found in local thrifting, marketplace, Craigslist etc if you are persistent!
Daniel M. Reck@rootcompute You've gotten yourself nicely dialed in for good exposure. Way to go!
If you're not using it already, you may find a tripod or similar mount will help you get the sharpest image.
Keep going!
@DanielMReck Thanks, yeah I will definitely try to improve on this in the future. Appreciate the encouragement!
@rootcompute Also, excellent choice of subject material. Not merely some random Mario 3 scene, but well composed with Mario and the princess' speech bubble coming from the castle.
@DanielMReck Yeah! The entirety of Mario 3 lives rent free in my head, especially this 16 bit version. World 4 is definitely one of my favorite environments. This was the first game I booted up on the Trinitron when I picked it up, I was not prepared for how gorgeous it would look in component video in 240p!
Judeau (EatTheRich)@rootcompute Great picture. Those scanlines and pixels are looking nice! 👍
@Judeau Thanks. It still doesn't hold a candle to how it looks in person, it's absolutely breathtaking
@rootcompute I believe it! I have a really nice CRT monitor and it blows me away when playing Dreamcast on it with the VGA box.
It literally transforms some of the games.
I do have a pretty good CRT TV but nothing like a Trinitron. I would love to find one of those!
@Judeau I wish you luck on your search. I had a composite-only CRT found on the side of the road for several years before lucking into this one. It can be done!
Imperfect GeometryLove the "stack of quarters" look of aperture grill CRTs!
@zoviazzg Yes, that's a great way to put it! It's fascinating how everything looks up close, compared to just like a foot or two away from the screen
