Yesterday, a Canon printer/scanner. Today, a Canon Powershot Point and Shoot. I couldn't resist it, just coz I can't stand not having an alternative to my DSLR. :-s (I got the cheapest Canon P&S they have in the store though, so yeah, this is just for the meantime. I'm still saving up for that Lumix).
Today, I realized I don't want to be loyal to just one particular brand of cameras (I've always been a Nikon loyalist, save for the Sony Cybershot I bought on impulse because it was cute.) So I'm laying my guards down, and welcoming Canon with open arms. LOL.
And yay, scanography. :)
[Project 365, Day 41: May 27, 2009]
96' Three Peaks cyclecross
Yorkshire Dales England
feels like a long time ago..
ended up in 22nd or 23rd place overall, 2nd place in the rookie category..pretty intense race with at least an hour of a 3 1/2 hour race spent off the bike walking, running or sliding up and down hills..great time all around though... looks like its the approach to the last peak as I still have one tag left on my jersey..had a head on collison with another rider coming down this same peak, he was going up, we just locked on to eachother and I ran straight into him and blew both of ourselves clear of the bikes..he screamed bloody murder and I just jumped back on and took off, probably 10 minutes from the finish at that point..rained the whole night before and the whole day of the race..the organizers make you carry a whistle, a rain jacket, and a rubber bright orange bivy sack that you buy at registration..some day I'll get back there..

Black paper, dried baby wipes and tin foil were used to create this ghostly scene with the scanner, with added details in pen.

This store was supposed to be replaced by a new supercenter a few years ago. The project has been held up by traffic studies. As of Feb 2015, the project seems to finally be getting back on track. This store has had very minimal changes over the past years.
After seeing this site
I was inspired to make a scanner camera of my own. I made it out of an old box, some duct tape and a telephoto lens. All my lenses just about fit without much adjustment. Oh McGuyver would be proud. Tried several lenses but found the telephoto to work best. Hoping to get a lomo to put in there *ahemcoughmarkcoughahem* hint hint.
Photos coming soon.

CT Scanner from Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/ugimw/what_does_a_ct_scann...
From the Comments there: "The upper left corner has the actual X-Ray tube. The lower right is the imager - it's what basically is the digital "film" for the CT scanner. The box in the upper right is probably the motor that makes the whole assembly rotate."

So, the movie "Scanners" is 30 years old this year (along with a good number of other classic films).
Figured I'd try my hand at a minimal movie poster for it.
Didn't quite capture the "minimal" but I think it looks pretty good.
Made with my self made scanner-camera.
for most people this photo is a pointless shot of a building, out of focus, in a dark cloudy day, but I have decided to upload this to celebrate that I solved one of the biggest problems of my scanner-camera:
the RGB offset. It was not a problem itself, but when I was moving the RGB channels in place, there was a shadow of the other channels, so I had to do one scan for each RGB channel.. very boring.
The solution was so much stupid: I simply turned off the color correction in the Epson software (even when you don't touch anything it seems to affect the channels in some way) and that's it, a correct scan!
I made it not with the large format lens, but with the little tamron(35mm format) 28mm. very cheap, but is more convenient to use, and lightweight.
in the lower section of the photo you can see a color stripe, it's some dust on the ccd glass.
This is the new scanner mounted on the scanner camera. It's an Epson Perfection V30.
the biggest improvements are:
-less overall thickness
-motherboard simplicity (it's like 5x5 cm)
-it's 13,5 V, not 24, and half of the power consumption.
-doesn't require any kind of heavy modification, in theory can be a reversible mod (not in my case, I broke one of the mirrors by mistake).
-Windows Vista compatible.
-it's 4800x9600 dpi instead of the obsolete 600x1200 (so it's 24 times the resolution)
-extremely fast scans even at high resolution 48bit.
-the amazing horizontal resolution (9600dpi)allows to scan with small lens without loss of definition.
-it's black, so I don't have to paint it.
- the overall simplicity allows me to eventually build a medium format chassis instead of the large format.
But it's not perfect: like all the others scanners that I have tested, not only moves the rgb channels when you move the sensor ahead of the lens and mirrors, but also partially merge the channels, so when you look at the red channel you see a shadow of the other shifted channels.
You can se the result in the next photo.
