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.
it doesnt look like this at all in person
the dither goes silly on this one (first image dithered gif second image jpg)
dead end of mall. behind a fairly busy intersection. we sat on those little tables staring forward at the plastic wall for about an hour. many passersby were confused, concerned, scared, or just plain amused. we didn't really mean to commit to the idea for so long it just sorta happened.
28mm 2.8 manual focus k mount its capable of being p sharp
surprisingly few of these left unedited in the backlog. i take this exact shot so often. i'll prbobably figure out a place online to put them all next to each other someday
the final product is nothing what the preview window looked like. experimenting with masked sections of posterization and sections of dither
and that finishes what we started back in october. there's various other photoshoots i've been avoiding touching but I think I'm ready to get em done now.
coming back to this shoot with a better idea of how to edit it
