So for Halloween parties I'm gonna be an old fashion photographer so I can have the best of both worlds, a costume but also take photos. So I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to transform my regular Canon Rebel XT to something like an old fashion kinda look. I found this one cool picture. I have the same kinda of hat, make alittle photo ID and I have an old fashion trenchcoat.

I guess I'm more wondering about a light bulb, dish, and how its mounted. Maybe somehow make my own attachable flash connect up to it ( i have wireless remote triggers)

Any ideas? Or any extra stuff I could add to the costume. Still got 2 months to prepare HAHA :D

Probably best to try and make yourself something like a Graphex (http://www.flickr.com/photos/-spam-/492425959/in/set-72157600186641425/) Speed Graphic (http://www.flickr.com/photos/-spam-/492425945/in/set-72157600186641425/) out of cardboard and some other bits and then just have your XT hanging over your shoulder.
