Oscilloscope
One of the hardest things about working with graphics in the electronics industry is getting decent pictures of screens that light up...
I need a picture of an RPM wave on an oscilloscope, but when I take one using our (admittedly nasty) digital camera, I get this:

Clearly, the human eye can't detect the 'refresh rate' of the screen, but the camera can. And the 'glowing' effect looks crazy - nothing like how it actually looks in 'real life'.
So this is my attempt:

I'm fairly happy with the result but I'd welcome feedback and friendly critique on how to make it look as photo-real as possible... In particular I'd like to improve the actual waveform, as the 'glow' looks a little fake ATM
