Halloween photobooth was a success. Check it out here:
I’ve been working on a photo booth for a Halloween party the last few weeks with some friends. Its been a labor of love, as we built the structure and stable housing the we eventually decided was “drunk-proof” with glass and bolts to protect against the roughest of guests. We also turned a toy gun into the remote trigger for our Canon 5D and strobe kit.
The viewer had a monitor to see their images as they were taking them, and then, we had some spoof job posters outside the booth with pull-tabs sending them to flickr.com/loft910 to find the photos later. It worked like a charm, and 2000 photos later we had a pretty amazing set of images.
Because of the sheer number of photos,here is the time-lapse of the whole event.

This is fantastic! I want to do this for my party this year, but it probably won't be as cool. The toy gun trigger made me squeal with delight. Basically I'm just going to set up a room using sheets and paint and some fun props; install the strobe light and have someone take pictures. How did you rig up the trigger? I do have a friend who is pretty tech-savvy, so any info would be appreciated. BRAVO!!!
