Scanography
This is a great technic for capturing images. Many times when we bring up photography with friends and family. we quickly start talking about fancy and usually expensive DSLRs and other cameras like the point and shoot. Well i would like to remind you those are all really great tools for capturing images but they are not the only ones. You may use a very common and usually pretty cheap flat bed scanner to capture some pretty awesome images. The scanner i have is a HP Deskjet F4440. Its a printer and a scanner all in one. I purchased mine brand new at a local store for less then 60 dollars. It has been a very important tool in my imaging and photo restoration projects.
This first image is of just three fake flowers that my wife puts in her hair and to of her necklaces laid in a nice pattern. Just turned the lights off in a dark room and turn the computer screen away from the scanner and scanned the image with the scanner cover completely removed. Remember the scanning process ( capturing the image) take a while some times over 10 secs so the scanner must not be touched or you will get some really strong blur. Which may turn out nice but not always.
