:rofl:
True story - about 7 years ago I was teaching a class called "Shooting Portraits on a Budget" and part of it was that I built three sets, each of which cost me less than $40, buying much of it at Walmart.
On one set I used a cheap plastic shower curtain ($3). Another set I used a cheap blue bedsheet ($4). I found those and tossed them into my cart. Next, I wanted to show an old-school method for creating a soft-focus on your subject - stretching black nylons over the end of your lens. I went into the "lingerie" section and just grabbed the first package of the cheapest black pantyhose that they had ($4). Then I wanted to show another method of soft focusing by smearing a very thin layer of Vaseline around the edges of the lens while leaving the center clean. Well, the problem with Vaseline is that it is a petroleum product and I had no intention of putting that stuff anywhere near an expensive lens or camera body. But then I had an awesome thought - use KY jelly because it's water-based and easily cleaned up. So into my cart went a tube of it.
I go to check out and the cashier is just staring at me and, as I look down, I realize what this must look like - a bed sheet, a plastic sheet, a pair of nylons (which, coincidentally, I swear, were "Queen size" and would fit me), and a tube of KY jelly.
Yeah, I just kept my head down, paid for it and got the hell out of there. I'm reasonably certain that, all these years later, my picture is still in their security office!
