That's interesting! I assume you're using some kind of pinhole camera setup that focuses the light on the top of the scanner tray? Would really love to see what the camera looks like!
In basic principle it’s a pinhole camera using a scanner as the photosensitive surface. I’ve stuck a magnifier glass to the front, it gives some sharpness and a lot of possibilities outside of a simple pinhole.
There’s a picture of the camera in my comment history, its violently unimpressive
Pretty much what I expected it to look like! It's really interesting and I bet will make for some fun photos. Basically a very slow horizontal shutter.
You’re spot on, it’s a really slow rolling shutter. I like the idea of focusing in on what is normally considered an undesirable artifact and elevating it to become the centerpiece. Messing around with motion gets some wild results and is a lot of fun!
