    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

    I already have some lenses that will cover the whole scanner bed, it’s mostly a question of power at this point

          Not so much really, it would be more capable for like landscapes and architecture due to the time frame it’d take pictures in

            so you’re really trading long exposure time + large size for extremely high resolution, that’s pretty cool actually

        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.

        Once I finish it I’ll be sharing information about it and pictures it takes on multiple photography groups across Lemmy
