Homemade Digital Cameras

Michael Golembewski writes "For the past three years, I've been taking apart cheap secondhand flatbed scanners and turning them into homemade large format digital cameras. They are well over 100 mexapixel in resolution, and produce results that are both similar to and significantly different from traditional digital and conventional cameras."

  1. why not just post-process? by penguin-collective · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    While it's a neat (if not original) hack, why bother making actual photographs with it? The point of large format digital is very high quality, and it doesn't look like you're getting that.

    If it's the look and effect you are going for, you can achieve that more easily with a regular digital camera and a bit of post-processing.
