creative and extreme scanning

This image is the result of a combining extreme and creative scanning.
Not only I gladly skipped the cleaning-up-the-negative part and somewhat pushed the settings, I also added some more flaws of my own to the process.

Creative scanning

This image is the outcome of scanning a negative through a glassine paper envelope.
I inserted the negative inside a glassine envelope which is often used to store photos. I placed it on a flatbed scanner with settings pointed to normal color negative.

As you can see, scanning through a see-through paper results in a soft painterly effect.

What I like about it is that the final effect is unpredictable and varies from one image to another. Although sometimes the end result can be too blurry and distorted, more often it works out quite nicely.
