Topic: Ralph scanned film the cheap way.

[Rafael Morales]

  I used my Ipod which has a film scanning app. If I had two Ipods one could shoot and the other could be the light source. As I don't have a second Ipod I had to use a digital camera set on "Negative" and "close up" and this is what I got.

Just needs to invert the whole sha-bang and you might have something surprising.

  It is inverted the negative and the negative have made a positive. The picture is from under a car I was working on. The red thing is a car jack. I would have to tweak the colors and crop in on this to make something that is Ok. (I am going to buy a real film scanner soon. When I see it on sale; again.)

Well... no wonder... I never photographed the underside of my car... it has cost me too many frustrations to have any desire of immortalizing its dark parts. (I think I've pretty much changed everything on it except for the ignition key!)

[Rafael Morales]

I was changing the front transmission mount and I thought I would immortalize that with pics. (it is on the floor in the pic)

Well... at least it's not like a girl I know who stopped at a stop sign, heard a loud bang coming from under the hood only to find the engine lying there on the pavement! It was a not so old Chevrolet... the engine mounts broke off... lets just say you look kinda dumb when this happens to you!

Don't go giving Apple ideas, they'll want to charge people for that "app" if you're not careful.....

If any of you use the little lab app I made, in the integrator part of the software there is a light table option
It's adjustable with 10 brightness levels and has a handy dandy grayscale too!
