I modded a scanner to be a camera, this is 'Waterdance'
One of the results of a collaboration with a dancer. Once the motion-aspect of scanning photography clicked with her, it was a blast playing around for a few hours. This is a quick scan, left to right in about 20 seconds.
That rolling shutter, lol.
I appreciate every time you post your photos with your scanra. Were your prior posts projected into a sheet, or were the waves simply things moving around in the wind as the exposure was taken?
I’m kinda in love with taking an ‘undesirable’ artifact and sticking it front and front and center. Thank you!
I guess you’re talking about Drake V, the one with the horizontal waveform? That is a big piece of fabric waving in the wind during the exposure.
Undesirable under normal conditions, but suddenly super interesting due to the mechanism at play. Leaning into it makes a lot of sense and helps make the photos you capture all the more unique.
Yes, the one with the horizontal wave. I remembered the fabric, but for some reason I thought it was there to help make the photo, not as a background element.
