I ended up here by following a link to the article on smoke photography. I experimented with my scanner a little while ago, while my camera was broken and I was using a substitute I wasn't crazy about. I love the narrow focus and texture that results from using the scanner. Here are a few examples from my flickr account: http://flickr.com/photos/eccentrophile/tags/scanned/.

I love the process and am continuing to find new ways to scan and make art with my scanner. This is something I discovered for myself a couple of years ago.

And since you can slide around the transparency film it can also be convenient for fine tuning the positioning.

I've never thought of just scanning smaller items instead of trying to shoot it with my digital camera. Thanks for the tip and I'll now have to try it. Interesting idea.

I stumbled upon your blog while I was doing research for work and I'd like to say that yours is one of the most helpful and informative photography blogs I've ever read. I'm no photographer but I've been playing with film cameras for a month now. I've been reading up on composition and technique though, because if I'm doing this for fun I might as well do it right. Anyways, keep up the good work. I'll be back! :D Hi!

Don't try and scan anything with sharp edges either as you could scratch the glass flatbed.

I scanned a little screwdriver I have and created multiple copies of it in layers with blurring for DOF. I even created a wood texture background from scratch rather than using a pattern but that is where I made my mistake. I left the background sharp while the objects above it blur more as they descend towards the wooden surface. Sadly I lost the original PSD file so I couldn't fix it, but it was a fun exercise anyway.
