Just a thought, but it seems to me with that much preparation and discussion about ideas ahead of time, you would have determined how to retrieve materials from the device you were planning to use before attempting to capture the images. I mean, what's the point of going through the trouble, if you aren't sure if you can access the images once they are captured?

With all the careful planning and talk about creating the perfect scenario, why not test the equipment ahead of time and make sure you know how to download your results? This seems like a very important aspect of your mission. I would have recommended you test out your equipment ahead of time, made sure you could obtain the data, and test your results so that you could update your settings for optimum quality when the time came to do it for real.

In fact, I think this would have been more important than soliciting ideas for your scenario. All the time spent here asking people how to modify clothing and how to create an elaborate setting would have been much better served in knowing how to apply your equipment to the process and being sure you could retrieve the results with a respectable quality.

So, my recommendation if you ever decide to try this again, is to prioritize:

1. Understand your equipment and make sure ahead of time what settings it will use, and know how to retrieve the images you capture.

2. Be confident in priority #1.

3. Establish a plan / scenario where you can apply your knowledge of your equipment in order to capture the images you seek.

4. Rehearse your plan / scenario to make sure you reveal any problems you might not have thought about, and address them.

5. Be confident in priorities #3 and #4.

6. Execute your plan knowing that your have confidence if you equipment, knowledge of how to use it, and fully understand your plan and can antipicate things that may be out of your control.

7. Come back here and share the wonderful news that your preparations were not hindered by lack of knowledge of your equipment/software/hardware/plan/scenario/setting.

8. Share your images and receive acclaim.

Good luck.
