minus-square Gormadt ( @Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) linkfedilink14•11 months 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 skillissuer ( @skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de ) linkfedilink10•11 months agoonly thing i don’t understand about it is why are you dong this
minus-square Thorny_Insight ( @Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee ) linkfedilink3•11 months agoPerhaps a huge sensor like that is good for night/astrophotography
minus-square Gormadt ( @Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) linkfedilink5•11 months 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 skillissuer ( @skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de ) linkfedilink3•11 months agoso you’re really trading long exposure time + large size for extremely high resolution, that’s pretty cool actually
minus-square Chaotic Entropy ( @ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk ) linkfedilink3•11 months agoWill that not just result in a terrible camera…? O.o
minus-square Gormadt ( @Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) linkfedilink4•edit-211 months 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.
