Equipment

  • Raspberry Pi
  • DSLR
    • Note: Not all DSLRs work equally well for this. You may want to test a few. We've been able to use a Nikon D90, D5100, and a Canon (WHATEVER JARED'S CAMERA IS).
  • A long USB cable
  • photobooth.py
  • Web space for storing the photos and letting visitors download them

Instructions

End result

Photobooth visitors can scan the QR code or grab the URL to download their photos:
