This is the first time I heard about this:

All I see is that I've been the 10,000th visitor along with 100,000 other people and trying to get me to participate

First I thought it was the same spammer back as last time.

A scanner is a digital camera. Whats the biggie?

Wait... what? So there's still a camera involved though right? I may need to re-read this ;)

I did photography with a flatbed scanner years ago (pre-digital camera era!). It works out well and the depth of field was large. Example attached.

That is a neat photo

hello all,
So what did they use, a cell phone? I do like the photo posted here too, hard to think of how you took it.

No camera used at all. I used a flatbed scanner, the house plant arranged over the scan glass, to take the original picture.

Personally, I think that linked site is spam. Maybe it was unintentional by the OP, but aside from the "tutorial" (which really is just common sense), in between every few pics and lines is a link to a sales page. To me, the whole thing is just a thinly-veiled ad...

BTW, if the mods agree this thread is cool, they should at least move it. It's about photography, and not OT...

Excellent photos without camera and the quality is also good. A scanner is also a camera.

When I saw my first "scanner photography" I thought there must be a trick ... no trick.

This image became a cover for a Home & Garden insert in the Tampa Tribune:

(new at posting, hope this works)

It didn't , so will try again.............
