thank you thrift store
this one is powered entirely off usb and plays nice with xsane and plays nicely with my box camera and is super super light and small
finallyyyyyy a good scanner
now i can get to light sealing the box camera and measuring out focus distances and stuff. hehehehehehehehehehe
image #1&2 was a test shot
image #3 was me messing with the scanner while it was doing something weird (i input weird settings)
image #4 is a portrait with a flashlight held pointed at subjects face. focus was set to infinity because i wasnt about to do the old focus scan refocus shuffle. looks nice and spooky.
you know the drill
portrait -> scale pixels -> landscape
something compels me to point the camera at the sky even without color, and every time i actually get to editing them i go "ehh whyyy". we know why, the sky is beautiful. but its hard to capture.
todays theme i guess, not all bangers but heyyy it's Cars.
uneasy framing
day and day
i think i still prefer doing tonecurves in rawtherapee then local contrast in darktable over agx :p #mymethod (theyre pretty similar in end result but my way just feels more predictable and consistent. using rawtherapee to create the shape of the curve then exposure tool works like the pivot and the local contrast stretching finetunes the curve and lets me choose whether i want a grayer more detailed image or a more smooth and high contrasty image which is like the black point white point settings i think but just. wayy more intuitive imo)
