The scanner-technique is quite cool - i’ve used that in my early PC-Times when there were no digital cameras at all or where they were much to expensive. Some results are very good.
And you can have a lot of fun with it! Try this: Put a coke-can or something like this on the scanner. while the scanner is moving the light just roll the can with the scanner-light - so that the can is always in top of the light.
have fun
The result is a long image with the complete can
Try to rotate the can along the z-axis or move it around in any way you can think of.
Very creative effects are possible this way
Maybe i can create some images for you when i’m back home
Orchid is lovely.
All my work is created on flatbed scanner.
Take a look if you like.
