Hi:
A little background:
I am making images of pipes(smoking, not plumbers’ variety) in order to sell them on Ebay. There are Maker’s Marks on these pipes either stamped or engraved into the wood. In a few cases I wanted images of the marks.
The first one I tried I scanned (Epson 4990). Much to my surprise the image "inverted" the carving. The letters look as if they stand out above the wood; when, in fact, they are cut into the wood.
I thought this was a scanner problem. I then photographed the carving on another pipe using an Olympus E-300 with 50mm Macro Lens and ringlight. The same phenomenon occurred.
I’d appreciate enlightenment as to why this happens.
Thanks
Ira Solomon
