Beach treasures

Having a go at the technique challenge Scanography. At home we have a scanner/copier/printer in one. My first idea, taking a biro apart and showing the individual parts, didn't really work. I wanted more depth, but how I thought?! I put the shells under the plate and a piece of textile on top with folds. Not too sure, even though you do see more depth, it looses focus.
Wow - I was looking at the photo wondering how you'd got the movement and focus - I try and look at the photo before I read the text. I've been meaning to try this challenge too - running out of time. Big fav - this is a fantastic use of the scanner

I tried to do this challenge, but couldn't get focus at all. I thought it was my scanner, but you seem to have managed it well

@ingrid2101 thanks Ingrid. You've still got a week :-) I used black paper at first for the background, but it made the image very flat.

What an amazing idea!

Hmmm, I like the colors and the comp. I'm not sure about the dof. Can you try to increase the resolution before scanning? I doubled mine from 300 dpi to 600 dpi (the highest).

i like the eccentricity of the focus

Such a great effect, I think this makes for a really interesting image.

@bill_fe yes, agree, I wasn't too sure of dof either. I've had a look but there is no option to choose resolution. Thanks for the tip anyway!

Because someone else had done this, I decided to try it again. I'm curious at what dpi you set your image. @bill_fe Thanks for mentioning this. I went too high, I think. I like the 3-D effect the scanned images have.

i don't think i really understand how you made it, but great picture! very interesting play between sharp and blurred parts and great composition

Ik zou je niet kunnen helpen. Ik heb er een maar de inktpatronen zijn zo duur dat ik deze niet meer gebruikt. Fiets wel even naar de bieb als ik copieen nodig hebt. .
