It was suggested this image per this thread:

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_0584_9.jpeg

But it is the same image of Can't See a Damn Thing, so I opened to discuss if it works better on Camera Obscurer.

Twiddler said here that has some other suggestions too.

The caption is critical to my suggestion so let's not forget about it:

You're never gonna believe it, I had the perfect page image for this trope right in front of me, but I left the lens cap on!

For completeness' sake, here's also the caption for Can't See a Damn Thing:

This really isn't a trope we need to use a self-demonstrating joke for. Some suggestions:

[up][up] One of those where there's also a frame of them trying to take the photo of the unbelievable thing might work.

[up][up] Why would such be needed? I’ve averse to multi-panel images whenever possible, and the crux of this trope is “character tries to take photo but left lens cap on/had their finger on lens”. Both illustrate that quite clearly; we don’t need to see them actually taking the photo.

5.2 works. What's visible on the tail looks quite fantastical.

[up][up] I just think the images on there own look kinda weak. I think an image showing the attempt and the failed photo would be stronger in showing the full trope. Though of the two on 5 I prefer 5.2.

[tup] 5.2 for now.

In fact, I got another suggestion. I just need to know how to combine multiple images into one.

Now I need someone to combine them into 1.

5.2 looks good.
