macro photos - a new approach

Dear Forum members:
My friend, Mary C Miller, Bonsai author, her latest book, Bonsai with Tropicals, sent me the following URL http://www.scanner-magic.com/ and warned me that this could be as addicting as Bonsai!

She is right and I am enclosing three pictures of some of my flowering Bonsai, that could never be photographed as well as the enclosed by conventional methods. The secret is that they were accomplished with a flat bed scanner!

Be aware, the ideas will come tumbling from your brain. You have been warned!!!!

The first photo is my favorite. It is a Bucida spinosa showing the insignifican, but delicate flowers and seeds. The other two photos are of the Wrightia religosa flowers.

Gday Carl!

As one who has played a lot with our flatbed scanner (sorry I can't show any of the scans on a PG-13 Forum ), I have found it useful to place an A4 sheet of acetate (overhead projector transparency film) on the glass before I scan anything other than paper. The acetate is easily replaced and/or cleaned, unlike the plate glass of the scanner.

Very nice pics, by the way!

Thanks.

Fly.
