Looking back through some very old gaming magazines, I notice that most of the screen shots for those early arcade games often look kinda blurred – I’m guessing because screen capture was all about some bloke with a camera standing in front of an arcade cabinet and shooting at high speed to reduce the amount of blur? It got me thinking, what if I went the opposite way shot with a loooong exposure?
I set my camera up this evening, manually focused on my Netbook running a selection of arcade games, set the iso to 100, exposure to 30 seconds and with joypad in one hand, remote release in the other, I switched the lights off.

Good idea mate and great pictures. That Star Wars trench run looks awesome!
Is it sad that I recognize them all?
Thanks mate, quite pleased with some of them. Sad?, nope I salute you sir!
What a great idea. Do you mind if I copy it? This is really great. Almost looks like scanner images from the airport.
Hey, go right ahead mate, you’ll have to send me your links.

Got a whole new line in retro t-shirts/pictures on walls potential there I reckon!
Aye, and I’ve just purchased a new printer. Hmm
