Yesterday I decided to use the scanning option for a practice photography project and it didn't turn out too shabby I must say.
Of course there was the setting up part, in which my partner, Travis helped on that end while I waited impatiently. Even though it's wireless for printing, the scanning option requires a USB cable from the printer to your computer and luckily my computer loving husband had one!
I took a leaf I had found while walking Adeline, the dog I walk on a regular basis for the past couple of years, and I bought some silk paper and other decorative type paper, and I placed the leaf on the decorative paper which is a very dark blue (the leaf is yellow), and I placed that on the scanner and WHA LA! It was sent from the scanner to my computer! Love technology when it works!
I also layered a couple of photos from my collection on top of this image to give it a cloudy look of sorts and used picnik.com for some color and contrast adjustments.
If you have not or do not know of picnik.com, you MUST SEE IT! It is one of the most amazing, and mostly free, online photo manipulation sites! All of my work is done through that website currently. Hoping to get photoshop soon though.
Below is the finished project as well as a recent photo of Adeline, the dog I mentioned previously!
Have a great day and/or night and keep shooting!!
