One of the results of a collaboration with a dancer. Once the motion-aspect of scanning photography clicked with her, it was a blast playing around for a few hours. This is a quick scan, left to right in about 20 seconds.

I’m kinda in love with taking an ‘undesirable’ artifact and sticking it front and front and center. Thank you!
I guess you’re talking about Drake V, the one with the horizontal waveform? That is a big piece of fabric waving in the wind during the exposure.
Undesirable under normal conditions, but suddenly super interesting due to the mechanism at play. Leaning into it makes a lot of sense and helps make the photos you capture all the more unique.
Yes, the one with the horizontal wave. I remembered the fabric, but for some reason I thought it was there to help make the photo, not as a background element.
When rolling shutter is the main event, better make it look good, right?
I have a series of shots with the fabric, it’s the centerpiece of all of them, in that case it helps a lot!
Since I built the camera, I’ve been looking for ways to use its artifacts and idiosyncrasies to make pictures no one has ever seen, the temporal skew that it allows is super interesting to me.
Totally agree, keep sharing!
