Scanography

The term Scanography called a photographic process and its results, in which a scanner is used to digitize the vicinity. The difference with the normal photography is that the scanner picks up the ambient successively and therefore the result retains a temporal evolution of the photographed subject. Another difference is the lens that behaves like a cylindrical lens in the case of a scanner and causes a distortion of the images.

Difference for xerography

The results obtained are comparable with results of xerography, however, due to the slower movement of the carriage with the look is more time available for dynamic effects.

Contrast to long-term exposure

A long exposure affects the entire image, while in Scanography only that row is affected.
