The strangest photo I've ever taken while playing the original MPO...

You can click on the spoiler below to see what I mean, but before you do, listen to this...

I was playing MPO one day, and I was at the part where you have to use TNT to blow up a few strategic areas before going on the boat and evenutally to Python. This is the photo I took while blowing one of these targets up...

Spoiler:

why's your face on it
and who's the black cloud o_O

Actually, it was a photo I took as I made one of the TNT charges explode. The explosion was so bright, that it made me look like a ghost.

And, if you played MPO, you might notice that the closer the camera is to your character, you'll get a transparent appearance (like when you get the camera too close to Hitoshura in Shin Megami Tensei-Nocturne). No major tricks involved.

Oh, so that really is your character on that pic? I thought it was one of the ghost pics, like in the other MGS games.

I just tweaked the camera angle to get a close up of me before I activated the TNT. I thought it was neat that I had to take photos of it as it happened.
