Beautifully shot.

This is an excellent photo! May I ask the author (or anyone else that knows) how s/he took the photo? Do you use a light-tent?

Hi Luan,

Thanks for the question.

Actually, this was shot with an Epson 4870 flatbed scanner. Hence the very even lighting.

This is really neat(cool) and almost "céleste" - congrats Jason!

Wow, I love the crispness and the colours.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the reply. Wow. I didn't ever think about using a scanner. As I don't have a scanner, is there a way to achieve the same effect?

Well, I'm not sure exactly which effect you mean, but I'm sure one would be able to shoot quite a similar shot with an SLR and macro lens.

A light tent would probably be the best option as far as lighting, but it would be difficult to preserve the complete black in the background. Also, DOF field would be an issue, but with a little experimentation I'm sure it can be done. =)

BTW- Thanks for the comments and feature everyone. It's been quite a while since I've poked my nose in over at Vazaar.

Again, a beautiful image and impressive achievement. I am still amazed at the idea of using a scanner and with such a result! Congratulations! Marcello
