Photographer Tyler Card has built what may be the most awesome Halloween costume of 2011: a fully-functional DSLR camera. He crafted the faux Nikon D3 camera body out of cardboard, a Dell laptop, an orange bucket and yes, it takes real photos.

It’s a fully functional, complete with an LCD display, built in flash, shutter release button/wireless remote control. It is also capable of triggering my Alienbees strobe lights with a Paul C. Buff Cyber Commander, and winning any costume contest with the push of a button.
