EarlyScannerTest
A very early experiment with slit-scan photography. Basically I used a scanner on edge and the lens from an old junky Polaroid instant camera to project the image onto the scanner.
I hacked the scanner to remove the light, and got a few shots before my computer ran a calibration and realized that the scanner was "malfunctioning". It's fun, but I think I have a better way now. That and I couldn't afford the program that actually has no problem with this sort of thing.
It's also possible to use an unmodified scanner-- you can use a large magnifying lens (like in the lit magnifiers at the office store) to project a large image onto a scanner bed. It works, but now well, and the depth of field is fiendishly narrow. But it is possible if you don't want to cut anything up.
