Stupid Computer Tricks
I was playing around earlier today. I know this trick has been around awhile and maybe I just missed it somewhere along the line. I thought I would share my translucent monitor with you.
Granted, I know my colors are off just a little here, but in person this is actually about right. It’s funny how a camera can pick up on slight changes of color. The scissors and the change jar along with the cords all added just enough to make this believable.

Hey how did you do that? Is there a camera behind the monitor? Please tell me.

As for how this was done, I took a picture of behind my screen, then loaded it as a desktop wallpaper. I had to crop the image to get it right then play around with the settings on the color a little. Not too hard overall though. Using a tripod you could get it just about right, but I didn’t. Just make sure you place the camera about the same level your eyes generally are when you view the screen.
