Gender: Male Freelance Thinking  |  Scanner Photography < on 1/20/2006 3:49 AM >   A friend sent this to me today, thought it might be of interest here. Some of thew shots work well ... especially the Audi TT ones. Don't know how practical this would be for UE shots, but the technique and tools sure are interesting. The link: http://www.scannerphotography.com/ The quotation: "Several years ago, I built my first homemade digital camera. The idea was simple - I would take an ordinary flatbed scanner, and use it in place of photo paper with a large format camera. My first scanner camera was made from lots of duct tape, a cardboard box, and the cheapest flatbed scanner that I could find. I expected this to be a quick little art project, one that would take a week or two at the most. But when I got my first homemade digital camera to work, I noticed that some wonderful things were beginning to happen. The objects in the scene that were stationary photographed normally, while the objects that were moving were twisted and distorted into wonderful shapes. At first, I thought that this was a mistake, that something was wrong with my new contraption. But I soon realized that the motion of the scanner was meshing with the motion of the recorded scene, creating unexpected, yet predictable, results. These motion distortions are similar to the effect created by moving a sheet on a photocopier mid-copy, except that they extend into three dimensions and only effect objects in motion." :: [last edit 3/21/2006 1:06 AM by ednothing - edited 1 times] Andy "Not Dice" Dice  Location: We can live in dumpsters if we have to, MA Gender: Male UE'ing is for pussies, bro.  |  |  |  Re: Scanner Photography <Reply # 1 on 1/20/2006 7:59 AM >   This is INCREDIBLY fascinating!

Scanning digital backs for large format cameras have been around for a while - and the nice ones don't even require the use of duct tape!

I've got a scanner that I don't use anymore. Maybe I should look for an old medium format camera. Anyone got one they don't use? Maybe I could use my Brownie.
