Streak Club is a place for hosting and participating in creative streaks.
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)
all these years and hundreds of miles and i'm still playing videogames with people late into the night where the best move for hot food and snacks is to go down to the local gas station. truly a time honored tradition
you read about the usa 100 years ago and you go "damn it sounds like getting attacked by wild dogs was like a coming of age thing- a sort of tragedy that befell the old masters, that necessitated a whole profession around catching and preventing the formation of roving dog packs, what happened to us as a country? why don't i ever get attacked by wild dogs like the artists whose work so inspires me?" and then it happens to you and you go "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh I See"

@(: (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?
