RE: Programs for Writing

[KMcLauchlan -at- chrysalis-its -dot- com]

Stand on a chair and shoot from just slightly above. 
The overhead lights and your camera flash will all 
be reflecting toward the floor, and not directly 
back into your lens. To minimize angular distortion 
from tipping the board or from viewing/shooting 
off-center, use your optical zoom and stand back a bit.
That might require a slightly longer exposure. Take 
a few shots to bracket the required exposure time. 
If you have a high-end digital camera with settable 
aperature, you already know all the above, so don't 
read this.   :-)

That thing Doug Bailey mentioned sounds like more 
fun, though.
