This is an advanced class focused on setting up an outdoor scanning studio. When capturing garden specimens outside in the open air the sun creates backlighting. Instead of a studio black background the background will be blue (on an uncloudy blue sky day), and varying shades of gray-blue to indigo as the sun sets. A cloudy day will produce a white, light gray or even pink background. Around noon the specimens are rendered with translucency- later on in the day the opacity is restored. The effects possible include delicate, watercolor-like captures and organic abstractions that appear more like paintings than photography- entirely in-scanner, without Photoshop manipulation!
