brought to you by the world's worst very large format camera
something about my setup creates wicked vignetting with a long horizontal line of good exposure (im guessing the shape is due to the scanning head being a line)
the lens being adapted is the lens from my overhead projector. i learned a nice bit about optics putting it all together based on intuition, took a few hours of fiddling to get to this current setup
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

oh wow, that's stunning. very beautiful rendering, this is the largest proper large sensor picture i've seen in a while
adjusting levels in gimp, we can see than the lenses actually let much more details come through & the result is mesmerizing

edit: i assume that's what you mentioned as vignetting, but i didn't expect quite as much coverage
