so i had this great idea that i would use alisia's scanner as a light source. i had a scanner years ago that had seriously the brightest bulb ever. you could put eggs on the glass, press scan, and when it's done you've got breakfast.
so that was my great idea. so i got out alisia's scanner, set it up, pressed scan, and it only has this weak little led style glow thing going on. seriously. how does it even scan with that?
so i was stumped. there's no way to use that weak little light as a light source. i might as well try and light using an indiglo wristwatch or something.
so i decided to use the glass and the white back of the scanner as a bounce device. set up a gridded hard light source, point it at the glass and let it turn into a softer bounce thing. i had to work with it a bit, i was getting some strange glass / mirror reflections across my face, but eventually the angles made sense, and i got the shot i wanted.
it's not bad for just one hard light.
