something something man ray
something something technicalities
proof of concept
featuring my hand seen thru my arsat n 50mm lens, "mounted" to the scanner via a toilet paper roll i've cut to about the flange focal distance of f mount (the focus was missed but for how small it is in frame it matters little)
into the 2400s
show photos are so boring..

i really do think im good at "taking photos"
remembering why i was putting off editing the shots from this show, they weren't that great
been a minute since i brought out the Q
i have cleared backlog up to image 9X9P2019... out of (as of posting) 4006*. yeah. yeah. YEAH.
*many interim images are things i've already edited, and the majority of photos i take are not keepers
from sunday
chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choo
can only see these images tagged to edit for so many months before i either gotta just edit or decide its not really worth editing
endless task
just put a piece of paper on top of the scanner and boom it fixes the light angle problem. still gotta remove the lights from the scanning head though it washes out the image .. and maybe gotta look into writing custom scanner firmware to actually control exposure cuz once those clouds went away i was just getting pure white captures (oh wait i could just make an aperture for the lens. lollll). this shot turned out nice though

@(: (i answered this in a dm, putting this here for anyone else reading) the lens was shot wide open @f/2 and i still had to shine a bright light on my hand to get it to show up so, at least in a dim-but-not-dark room, overexposure is not a worry
oh wow that's incredible, i can see the rayograph inspiration but this is so uniquely digital; i didn't expect this would work at all, scanning with an open lid.. i don't think i've ever seen it. how much did you have to close the lenses for this to work?
