Scanner camera mk3 Screen, SD card storage, portable battery for power, live view screen, 14mp Made from an old 35mm film scanner. All components are separated light box is removed then it is attached to the SLR filem camera. The sensor is a 3.3x crop converting a 50mm lens to 165mm. It has a battery allowing it to be portable. The sensor is placed centrally where the film would be placed. To take a picture the camera has to be winded on and mirror locked up allowing u to focus using live view. Current flaws Focus need adjusting currently 5m to 0.25m allowing for macro focusing. This also only captures infrared light due to the sensor to prevent this a IR blocking filter needs to be added. Next step Further progresses this design encourparting the battery power and make small enough to fit in a 35mm film cassette so that it can be used on multiple film cameras. Also increase sensor size for quality.

Scanner camera kodak test shots The sensor is able to capture images in focus. It is also able to capture imperfections in sensors which most modern day cameras correct. This is successful in showing the workings of digital photography. It also captures a different light spectrum IR light.

Scanner camera Mk2 Converting an old 110 kodak film camera to shoot digital. I removed the sensor from an old film scanner and the lens so that the sensor is left bare. Then it is placed into the camera. To capture an image the original software is used via computer. The camera was also modified to allowing a continuous flow of light. To do this I remov the shutter. The aperture is small due to the camera design around f5.6-8 this means it will need to have a lot of light to shoot. Also due to the size of the sensor the lens becomes a telephone photo lens around 200mm.

Reflex polaroid conversio first test First test with film was succesful, with zero light leaks ! Framing and focusing matches that in the viewfinder. The only correction that needs to be made is the width of the image. This can be adjusted by removing part of the metal back that holds the polaroid film.

Shooting glass plates using luqid light First test using liquid light was successful the images were shot at iso 1 however are slightly contrasty so need to be reshot at iso1.5. Glass used was picture frame glass at 2mm that was custom cut. Stop bath was not needed during this process as it distorted some of the images. Do not leave the flash in sunlight to dry as this causes the emulsion to lift and the image is destroyed.

Took the 100 year old camera out for another spin.

This camera just keeps surprising me , each time I use it I learn more allowing me to capture the world in a whole new way. I managed to capture the snow before it was even touched. Results will be posted soon. Third time in the field keeping up with the cold weather.
