A rose is a rose is a rose....even if it's bleak and foreboding

The image was done in an epson scanner then retouched in FotoSketcher.

I recall your recent post with, I think, some grasses done this way. Both that and the rose are very effective. So do we just go for it or do we need some scanner settings from you to help us on our way? Any advice gratefully accepted.

Without you telling us you used a scanner, I would have never figured that out.

No special scanner settings. The trick is in the "set up".
1. Place the subject matter (rose, grasses, stones, jewelry, etc.) on the glass of the scanner.
2. Cover the entire glass along with the subject with a large piece of black cloth. Triple fold the cloth to prevent a light bleed.
3. Scan the whole thing just as you might scan a photo or document.
Because the cover cloth is sometimes too heavy for a delicate flower I'm working on a new arrangement. I found a heavy cardboard box with a three inch lip. I'm cutting out the bottom of the box and painting the interior of the lip black. The bottomless box will keep the black drape from touching my subject (rose, flowers, etc) when I place it on the scanner.
Hope this helps

A lazy man's camera.

The texture you have achieved is very nice. I don't find it foreboding or bleak - just artistic. I have used my scanner to photograph art work because I tend to have better results and lots less set up than with a camera.

That’s very nice of you to detail the method in this way - very helpful and saving those interested some of the frustrations you probably encountered. Many thanks indeed.
