Image Making Ideas
Scan an Object
Scanning an object at a high resolution(300 or 400 DPI) is a great way of capturing it without having to worry about lighting etc. These are a couple leaves I scanned earlier this year. Scanning without the lid gives you a nice black fill(rather than the top of the scanner).
You can also use a scanner to capture motion
In the above, I scanned a rose and a piece of paper that I moved around while scanning. I printed it out and used it as a Valentines Day card a few years ago.
