minus-squareGormadtlinkfedilink29•1 year agoConverting a high resolution photo scanner into a large format digital camera There’s a lot that goes into it and I’m still fairly early in the process but it is possible and has been done before I already have some lenses that will cover the whole scanner bed, it’s mostly a question of power at this point
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink15•1 year agoonly thing i don’t understand about it is why are you dong this
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•1 year agoPerhaps a huge sensor like that is good for night/astrophotography
minus-squareGormadtlinkfedilink5•1 year agoNot so much really, it would be more capable for like landscapes and architecture due to the time frame it’d take pictures in
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•1 year agoso you’re really trading long exposure time + large size for extremely high resolution, that’s pretty cool actually
minus-squareChaotic Entropylinkfedilink6•1 year agoWill that not just result in a terrible camera…? O.o
minus-squareGormadtlinkfedilink8•edit-21 year agoSurprisingly no Such scanners can scan at incredibly high resolution Hundreds of Megapixels in fact The main thing the time it takes to scan the image is quite high, like 30 seconds or do Edit: Here’s an example photo from someone who did what I’m talking about.

Converting a high resolution photo scanner into a large format digital camera
There’s a lot that goes into it and I’m still fairly early in the process but it is possible and has been done before

Surprisingly no
Such scanners can scan at incredibly high resolution
Hundreds of Megapixels in fact
The main thing the time it takes to scan the image is quite high, like 30 seconds or do
Edit: Here’s an example photo from someone who did what I’m talking about.
That’s actually pretty fascinating, thanks.
