Tilted wide-angle webcam shot of a blonde, freckled person in a grey hoodie leaning close to the lens holding tangled cables. Heavy digital noise and green cast.

A chaotic webcam still captures an amateur crypto-miner leaning too close to the wide-angle lens, their face distorted in the frame. The image suffers from extreme H.264 compression artifacts, crushed blacks, and the heavy green-blue cast of cheap fluorescent lighting. High ISO sensor noise and color speckling fill the deep, messy shadows.
