Homemade Digital Cameras

This may be of interest, or may not be.

For the past three years, I've been taking apart cheap secondhand flatbed scanners and turning them into homemade large format digital cameras. They are well over 100 mexapixel in resolution, and produce results that are both similar to and significantly different from traditional digital and conventional cameras.

I get a 403 error

Interesting though, I might just have a use for my old scanner!

I'll have a read when I get home today, might be up and running back to normal by then
