In a way scanning feels like the beginning of the photographic process... The being out there with the camera in the first place getting the shot hopefully with the right film, filter, focus, shutter speed and aperture and aimed at the right place. The gathering of information. Scanning can feel not for from that only your scanner sits there on the table; not in your handy hands. Do they have handheld scanners? No I'd think not it's best to use a tripod when ever possible. Although my desk has more than three legs. One leg to many if you ask me.
