"so easy a child can do it"

Now, Let's Get Started


Step 1) Turn your flatbed scanner on. (If it's new, make sure you have installed the software and read basic instructions.) It may take a little while to warm up, this is normal. Warmer is better.

Step 2) Before you begin your "scanography", CLEAN the glass of your scanner with a lint free cloth. Paper towels are not lint free; and do not use regular window cleaner.

Clean the scanner bed before and after every scan. Dust, pollen and even tiny hairs show up in close-up (macro) photography -- and that's what you're creating. IMPORTANT NOTE: Read 'Scanner Cleaning'

Step 3) Leave the top up. Carefully place your subject face down, on the glass of the photo scanner. Use anything that fits within the parameters of the flatbed's dimensions. Try to keep smudges off the glass. Yes, they will show up.

Consider this learning stage as practice don’t spend a lot of time being creative
Try a leaf, a flower, even your dog's toy will work
Avoid anything with sharp edges that may scratch the glass
Remember, place items to scan face down
The “camera” is looking up
Leave the scanner top up

Step 4) Go to your photo scanner software location. (I keep mine on my desktop so I can find it easily. My icon reads Epson Smart Panel). Read the brief but specific instructions to Scan and Save.

Keep things basic for now, go to 'PHOTO' section,use AUTO MODE.



Don't get nervous, this is not complicated. Scanner photography is not much different than scanning a document. The old saying -"so easy a child can do it" - applies here.

Quite often just using a scanner with the top up gives you the black background you're looking for, because of the limited Depth of Field. However, ambient light can interfere. For best results turn off any lights in the room.

Is Scanner Photography Really Photography?
A scanner photography discussion in one of the photography forums stirred up quite an argument. The subject was Using the Scanner as a Camera. I was amazed at the intensity of opinions. "This is not photography!" . . . "It can't be, there is no camera" . . . "This is cheating" . . . "The scanner isn't a camera."

Technology builds upon itself. The original processes change and are often replaced with new technologies. Does it change the thing itself?

My very first camera was a Brownie, today I have a Canon PowerShot digital camera. However, I also use my Epson 3170 scanner!

For me there is no argument.

www.SCPHOTO.com - is a school curriculum for photography and it says:
" . . . two ancient Greek words: photo, for "light," and graph, for "drawing." "Drawing with light" is a way of describing photography. When a photograph is made, light or some other form of radiant energy, such as X rays, is used to record a picture of an object or scene on a light-sensitive surface. " No mention of camera there.

Now, note "Most" in The Free Dictionary at http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com:

"A photograph (often shortened to photo) is an image created by light falling on a light-sensitive surface, usually photographic film or an electronic imager such as a CCD or a CMOS chip. Most photographs are created using a camera . . ."
As professional photographer Vincent de Groot said:
". . . it is time to stop with the argumentations. After all who cares, how to call the technique . . . it is fun, creative and results can be stunning if the right technique is applied."
A Little History

How Did Scanner Photography Start?
My scanner photography research did not establish any one person as the 'first' to create scanner photography. In many of the bios I read, artists claim to have found it by accident. This seems quite believable. The process is very basic and even a non-techie (like me) could easily come across the possibilities. Perhaps someone just forgot to close the flatbed scanner lid, and had an interesting result.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein
About the Flatbed Scanner Inventor

When Ray Kurzweil was developing the flatbed scanner, I doubt designing a method to create a new art form was his goal. However, he very well may have predicted the very same! Kurzweil is recognized as one of the most exciting 'futurist' of our day.

"Ray Kurzweil has been described as “the restless genius” by the Wall Street Journal, and "the ultimate thinking machine” by Forbes. Inc. magazine ranked him #8 among entrepreneurs in the United States, calling him the “rightful heir to Thomas Edison,” and PBS included Ray as one of 16 “revolutionaries who made America,” along with other inventors of the past two centuries." - A quote from: About Ray Kurzweil

Had enough of this serious stuff?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A country code top-level domain (ccTLD) is an Internet top-level domain generally used or reserved for a country or a dependent territory.

All ccTLD identifiers are two letters long, and all two-letter top-level domains are ccTLDs. Creation and delegation of ccTLDs is performed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) as described in country codes with few exceptions explained below.

A number of the world's smallest countries have licensed their TLDs for world-wide commercial use. For example, Tuvalu and the Federated States of Micronesia, small island-states in the South Pacific, have partnered with VeriSign and FSM Telecommunications respectively, to sell domain names using the .tv and .fm TLDs to television and radio stations.

Vanity ccTLDs are TLDs which are used for various purposes outside their home countries, because of their name. For example,
.ad is a ccTLD for Andorra, but has recently been increasingly used by advertising agencies.
.ag is a ccTLD for Antigua and Barbuda and is sometimes used for agricultural sites. In Germany, AG (short for Aktiengesellschaft) is appended to the name of a stock-based company, similar to Inc. in USA.
.am is a ccTLD for Armenia, but is often used for AM radio stations, or for domain hacks (such as .i.am).
.as is a ccTLD for American Samoa. In Denmark and Norway, AS is appended to the name of a stock-based company, similar to Inc. in USA.
.cc is a ccTLD for Cocos (Keeling) Islands but is used for a wide variety of sites.
.cd is a ccTLD for Democratic Republic of Congo but is used for CD merchants and file sharing sites.
.dj is a ccTLD for Djibouti but is used for CD merchants and disc jockeys.
.fm is a ccTLD for the Federated States of Micronesia but it is often used for FM radio stations.
.gg is a ccTLD for Guernsey but it is often used by the gaming and gambling industry, particularly in relation to horse racing and online poker (with "gg" being the abbreviation for "good game", which is used as a courtesy in online chat).
.im is a ccTLD for the Isle of Man but is often used by instant messaging programs and services.
.in is a ccTLD for India but is widely used in the internet industry.
.it is a ccTLD for Italy but is used in domain hacks (e.g. .has.it).
.je is a ccTLD for Jersey but is often used as a diminutive in Dutch (e.g. "huis.je"), as "you" ("zoek.je" = "search ye!"), or as "I" in French (e.g. "moi.je")
.la is a ccTLD for Laos but is marketed as the TLD for Los Angeles.
.li is a ccTLD for Liechtenstein but is marketed as the TLD for Long Island.
.md is a ccTLD for Moldova, but is marketed exclusively to the medical industry (as in "medical domain" or "medical doctor").
.me is a ccTLD for Montenegro, and is recently opened to individuals.
.mu is a ccTLD for Mauritius, but is used within the music industry.
.nu is a ccTLD for Niue but marketed as resembling "new" in English and "now" in Nordic/Dutch. Also meaning "nude" in French/Portuguese.
.sc is a ccTLD for Seychelles but is often used as .Source
.to is a ccTLD for Tonga but is often used as the English word "to", like "go.to"; also is marketed as the TLD for Toronto.
.tv is a ccTLD for Tuvalu but it is used for the television ("tv")/entertainment industry purposes.
.ws is a ccTLD for Samoa (earlier Western Samoa), but is marketed as .Website
.vu is a ccTLD for Vanuatu but means "seen" in French as well as an abbreviation for the English language word "view".
