I had a few attempts to photograph some of the 1960's Dr Who footage I have converted to 32 lines and played via the 32 line Televisor.

The picture on the Televisor is very good indeed with pretty good definition, but the best picture I can get from the set is as below.

Any suggestion on how to get a decent screen shot? It must be possible as people did take screen shots from Televisors in the 20's and 30's. I've tried close ups and distant shots, say 12-18" away, but no success.

Any suggestions?

Peter.
