Hey guys, Halloween is coming up and I wanted to go downtown and take pictures of everyone dressed up. I want to dress up as something though, but can't think of any good costume ideas for a photographer. My only ideas were going as Peter Parker, or maybe just a sports photographer since my girlfriend is going as David Beckham.

Anyone have better ideas?

Paint a red stripe across a sheet and wrap yourself in it - go as an L lens.

That's another one I was considering, but I don't have any retro cameras... Although I do still get the "Woah, why don't you switch to digital? Mine fits in my pocket!"

Wow. Now that's just not right. My wife tells me to make it more authentic C clamps should be involved.:rolleyes:

I got one!

I'm going to make a cardboard box car to wear around me, then paint "Google Maps" on the sides, and be the Google Maps streetview car! Then I can just walk around and take pictures all night =]

Reminds me of Austin Powers in Goldmember:

Nigel Powers: So, little fella, I'm curious. Is everything in proportion?
Mini-Me: [Mini-Me nods unsure]
Nigel Powers: You know, your bobby dangler, giggle stick, your general-two-colonels, master of ceremonies... Yeah, don't be shy, let's have a look.
Mini-Me: [Mini-Me unzips his pants]
Nigel Powers: My lord! You're a tripod. What you been feeding that thing, eh? It looks like a baby's arm holding an apple. Good thing is, if you ever get tired, you can use it as a kickstand!
Mini-Me: [Mini-Me nods, smiling]

There is a photo kicking about on this forum of someone posed as a tripod - https://photography-on-the.net …?p=7456722&post​count=2747
