This photo did not come from a camera. It is a scan of paper daisies done on a flatbed scanner. This will probably have the purists yelling at me but the end result was a photo that I like, and it was fun to do. I would like to see any other images created in this method. I welcome your comments.

Paper Daisies

Wow, beautiful!

Yes, I've done this too, but of course the scanner lid would
press down on my subject. So, my husband painted the inside of a shirt box black which I now put over whatever I'm scanning, and it works perfectly, and I just leave the scanner lid open. Also, if I want a different background, I just put a piece of colored paper in the box bottom, and that too works great! Fun! Annette

Great thinking! I used to use my scanner for small photos when I was working as a graphic designer. Very nice job!!!

The photo that I posted was done with the scanner lid open completely but I like your method. Post some of your photos.

I'll look up some of my photos and will send them. In the meantime, another thing that I do is put a straight pin thru the box top, then insert the stem of a flower onto it, and you will not get that distorted, pressed look. Annette

Very nice really unable for ME to tell the difference and would not have thought of scanning somthing that was not already a picture until having seen a few of yours.
