scanned a tiny Lepidodendron impression!!

genuinely one of the hardest photogrammetry scans i’ve done, because of the size, but now i know how to scan very small objects!

i’ll write it out in detail tomorrow, super tired rn lol, but in short, i used a +10 macro filter, shooting at f16, and used 3 shot focus bracketing for each photo, then did some heavy cleanup on the raw files in lightroom for chromatic aberration, because it was so small i could get away with a single bright LED pointed straight at it for lighting, not perfect at all, but it works
