When I was a younger man. (No not that many years ago) I made myself one
from a toilet roll, glue, black paint and a make up mirror. It was very good
and simple to do. I finished mine off with a close up lens attached to the
front so that it looked like a normal lens. It was great for taking real
candid photos.

It doesn't have to do so much with the shutter speed or film speed or
the type of lens that you use. The orange effect is coming from the
type of lighting in the environment. I think that incandescent bulbs
give off the orange tint that you are referring to. The least expensive
way to deal with this is by purchasing a filter for your lens. Go to a

Last time I saw a lens like that for a 35mm camera was 20 years ago.
You're right, my quick Google search says seems to indicate that they
would be hard to come by... but there's at least one lens sold for
video cameras (promoted as a spy tool on some sites).

looks like a lense but will allow you to shoot a picture in one direction
while it looks like you are pointing your lense in another. I've been
watching eBay and searching the web but no luck. Is there another name for
it?

The best way to confront your subject is with honesty. If you want to take a picture of someone,
and not have it candid, just ask them. Most will be flattered some will say no. If you tell them
WHY you want to take thier photo it will help. If you have taken a candid photo and the subject of
the photo objects let them see the final result and let them decide if it is good or not. Give

With apologies, I don't like this picture much, for the following
reasons:
o The lighting is a bit bland. I think single light source images
have to be stronger in order to be effective. I would have
preferred an additional light source or reflector to provide
some fill in the shadow areas to the left side of the image.
