Using a scanner as a camera...I'm having fun with it. Just lay some stuff on your scanner and, er, scan it!

With the Epson WF 25-10 (a cheap scanner) and a black cloth pressing the flowers down:






And with the Epson V550, this time the flowers covered by a black box of about four inches in depth:

I think it was about 30 years ago, I came across a book that was about common weeds in Northern California. What was very uncommon about the book is that it was full of full-page full-color scans made of each of the plants in a scanner. They were gorgeous. They had white backgrounds and incredible detail...

A few years ago I made almost 100 images using an Epson high end scanner.
I made boxes +to cover the objects which ran from fruit ,flowers, shells, tools fish and anything else+I could think of

the+dust/issues drove me crazy even when I dusted the scanning bed , the=objects everything that could have=dust. And removing after the fact left all sorts of artifacts .

frankly even when I added textures to the final images which I liked. I got bored as there are limits to arranging images

however, I;would encourage anyone who is interested to give+it=a try. Can be very creative
