Aping an antique camera

Here's my attempt at Gorillapod Art :-). It's late, and I was out of ideas and running out of time, so why not?

I lit the legs (but probably not enough) for a few seconds with a white LED hidden behind some black cloth so the camera can't see it directly, and drew the camera and flash with the same LED afterwards. There was a bit of glare (LED drawings are better further away from the camera, I feel) so I adjusted the brightness/contrast a bit to reduce that. In doing so the legs got dimmer than I'd like, but with time running out this will have to do!

The camera is meant to be an antique twin-lens-reflex, using a googled image to work from. I just like those big old flashguns!
