This week we take a pit-stop between tutorials to take a look at the Plustek OpticFilm 7300 scanner. And we also use that to scan the film from my first shoot using the hand-built cardboard pinhole camera I made a few weeks back.

6 Mar 2008 @ 08:39 am

I've already taken my first roll of pictures with it. If there's anything usable I'll show them. The idea for the “sped-up making stuff” video ripped off from my good friend Matt.
