pulled the fresnel lens out of the overhead projector and placed it on top of the scan bed. uh. i dont really know what i'm doing here. but i think??? that the fresnel might "correct" the light heading to the sensor? to maybe yield a more consistent exposure over the whole frame? shot one is with the fresnel facing in, second is with it facing out. in and out here relative to where the light comes from in the overhead projector since im attempting to reverse its optics for capturing images? uhhh im fairly certain the fresnel needs to be a set distance away from the scanner to actually "work" but its certainly Doing Something here. oh and all the crap on the photo is from the nasty plastic screen on the scanner itself, i'll remove it once i'm more confident with what i'm doing here.

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

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

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

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
