Cathode ray dude on YouTube just dropped a feature length video on scanners, you might find it interesting!

Addiction is an example, the thing that makes you feel good in the short term, is the same thing that mess you up in the long term, and the only thing that makes the thing bearable is more of the thing, completing a fucking horrible cycle.

Fair enough, a bunch of but holes in that one. I’ve been brushing up on the classics lately while waiting

Gorgeous, astrophotography is like black magic to me, I’m really grateful there’s people like you out there giving us these kinds of images.

Wonderful, I love the textures in this one

Thank you!

I do make a limited run of signed and numbered prints of select shots. I’ve only ever sold locally, so I’m not rigged for international orders. DM me if you’re interested, I’m sure we can work something out.

You’re spot on, it’s a really slow rolling shutter. I like the idea of focusing in on what is normally considered an undesirable artifact and elevating it to become the centerpiece. Messing around with motion gets some wild results and is a lot of fun!

Thanks! I dream of someday having enough resources to rent a studio space and construct some proper scenography with experts in the field. It could make for some truly wild landscapes and photos.

Thanks! I’m glad you think its cool!

Im afraid the ‘dirt’ is actual dust and grime on the glass plate. It’s a hassle to disassemble and clean, so I don’t do it nearly often enough.

I’m not really one for numbers, and I don’t know understand your question.

If a 180 degree cone in front of the lens is the widest, I think this setup can do something like 80 degrees, and does its best work between 50 to 70. That said, this purely finger in weather approximation, I’m not really interested in the numbers when I do these shots

 

The last shot I posted gained some traction, so I felt like sharing some more of what I’ve done with my scanner camera. The scan is done from top to bottom in about 2 minutes, the model did a great job of staying still throughout.

While scanning motion is definitely eye-catching and spectacular, there are other qualities to appreciate. The gorgeous soft, yet tack sharp aesthetic of large format photography is easily available with a scanner.

Usually I fight the IR-super sensitivity of the sensor, but this time it made her skin iridescent against the rock in the background.

 

Taken on a small group of Islands in the Oslo fjord, called Hvasser. A 15 meter peice of fabric playing in the wind, scanned right to left in 21 seconds. Got really lucky with the clouds this time, allowing a single beam of sunlight in as a highlight.
