A Really Sweet Test...But Only A Test

This picture of the Splenda packets was a testof using the scanner as a camera substitute. I just laid them down on the scanner's glass and pressed "scan". My plans were to do a few more important projects this way. One thing that I discovered is that the subject has to be really close to the glass or it isn't very sharp.

The picture of the Nikon accessories on the next post kind of pushed the limits of the technique but I was pretty much using the entire area of the scanner. Had I tried to magnify one small section the sharpness would have been dissapointing.
