Tried scanning my head, primarily for a Flickr theme week called 'Me'.
Went for B&W with the intent of producing some kind of death mask. Not a bad basis, but I need to figure out how it goes from here. Need a bit of ethereality. Shiny, flat nose caused by resting it on the platen didn't help.
Wobbled my head from left to right relatively quickly.
Then much more slowly
The attempted a full 180 while the light scanned
The moved my chin up in time with the light until the top of my head hit the lid.
And this one I moved my head in the other direction. Took me several goes to get an effect I liked. Found that I got what I wanted if I stayed still while the scanner took in my shirt collar and then starting to move my face at roughly the same speed as the scanner was coming up. This was the one I submitted to the Flickr group.
