This is a second try at bright field lighting. There are 2 A3 sheets of tracing paper behind the bottle - the second sheet is folded in half and placed lengthways behind the front sheet to create a '|>' shape. Either side of the bottle is an A4 piece of black foamboard.
Orange gelled SB-900 fired at 1/4 power from behind the tracing paper. The folded tracing paper adds a further layer of diffusion, and evens out the light distribution.
Light triggered via CLS.
a continuation of trials (and errors) of this upside down wine shot called "wine not yet sppilled" or as Sally said, "hang over"
Today a bit better results, but still.........not that good. what i changed, mostly watering down the wine 1/4 wine to 3/4 water, you will see two shades of wine in this series, the darker one was 1/2 wine and 1/2 water, no good too dark! the other version is too light, have to be in between.
I really have to go get some new plexi glass or glass pieces for bases, as the foamboards just right away look too dirty and damaged once you touch them.
sorry i have only 1 setup shot, as tere were obvious 2 different set ups but forgot to take the other one.
Dining room set was from my friend's childhood; her mom found it when they were selling the house. Dining table was completely trashed and needed the legs repaired. Frames and mirror from Value Village. Buffet was from the estate sale. had to totally repaint it as it was discoloured. Philip Starck 'ghost chairs' were from ebay (although I got a set of clear from the estate sale also.
The floor base was from a packing skid - am a bit of a salvager!
Still so many fiddly details!
Apparently measuring twice and cutting once to get a straight line is a challenge for me. The trim is off on the right side - not due to measuring but because the ONLY piece left in the entire downtown core was bent!
No matter how many times I re-glued it would not stay in line! grrrrr.... and the foamboard paper kept rippling at the top.
May turn it in to a Addams family inspired goth piece.
Overall I am happy with it. going to do the back of the walls next week: will do it so i can use the floor for two set ups.
Today I'd like to show you my miniature couch during construction : ).
I'm no furniture building expert, just an enthusiastic amateur, so don't expect perfection (isn't that boring anyway?), but a cute little piece I'm proud of.
The materials are foamboard, a light ochre /mustard beige cord fabric, wood, glue (tacky, fabric and hot glue) and paint.
Next project will be a similar and yet different couch for my mother's display - can't wait to start with that!
So as I'm really getting into not just photography but editing with PS and Lightroom, and as we're hitting the USA in about 2weeks, I wanted to have my own piece of kit that I can take with me so I don't have three weeks worth of photos to edit when I get home! So I finally did what I said I'd never do and bought into the Apple world. This will however be my only piece of apple kit, I won't be sucked into the cult!
strobist: westcott icelight above with black foamboard to shield light spill.
Strobist: Interfit 150 with softbox camera right, about 1/4 pwr. White foamboard on camera left. Interfit 150 bare on the background, about 1/8 power, flagged to get the left to right fall off. Triggered with Pocket Wizard.
Countryside Conservancy Farmers Market - Huffman Fruit Farm
STROBIST INFO: Canon 600EX-RT with dome diffusor mounted inside a 24"x24" softbox to the rear and left of the image. Fill was provided by two white foamboard v's to the left and right front. Flash was triggered by the ST-E3-RT, manual flash, power 1/2, manually zoomed to 20mm. Finished in Lightroom CC 2015 and Photoshop CC 2015.
This is some sort of tutorial on how I do my brick wall backgrounds. Though scrapbooking papers can give you a very realistic and easy brick background, sometimes I love to make a "real" wall with texture and color.
The wall is made out of styrofoam, the window is made of foamboard.
To deepen the lines I use first a pencil, then an exacto knife so the surface won't "break" too much.
Different sized ball tools help a lot to softly round the edges of each brick.
It looks like a screaming person, to me.
Strobist info: Vivitar 285HV to camera right. Snooted with cardboard to prevent light hitting the black foam core. There's a bit of light bouncing back from camera left from a white foam board. The image is rotated 90° to the left.
Trying to nail this dark field stuff!. I have the edge light I want although lighting the base was a task! Getting even lighting over the label is still WIP.
To quote Jules "dark field is a right faff"
Not a real ale fan but this went down a treat afterwards ;)
Strobist: SB910 below subject behind black foam board bounced into white refector. 1/4 17mm bare. SB800 below subject front 1/128 24mm in mini softbox bounced into white foamboard above subject. White foam board at right angles to subject for rim.
strobist info:
slave flash (sb-24) pointing to background (white foamboard) (fired by PWII)
2nd flash (430ex) tethered, camera left pointing at clear fish tank while i poured some water.
added some blue color balance in PS

The perimeter of the store is outfitted with a corrugated metal awning (of sorts) which is peppered with foamboard food pictures. Despite looking dated, the store is extremely clean and even the decor was well-kept (no dust, no missing letters and not a single light bulb out).
-----------
The 49,000 sq. ft. ShopRite of Lincoln Park, NJ was built and opened in 1987 at a time when ShopRite was closing and replacing its older, first generation of smaller supermarkets and chains everywhere were trying to be more modern than the guy up the street. A&P had just introduced its Futurestores; and stores and restaurants everywhere were tacking-on tinted glass atriums anywhere they could fit. Today, the store has been modernized in some small ways, but it retains much of its original 1980's decor inside and out.

This is some sort of tutorial on how I do my brick wall backgrounds. Though scrapbooking papers can give you a very realistic and easy brick background, sometimes I love to make a "real" wall with texture and color.
The wall is made out of styrofoam, the window is made of foamboard.
And that's how it looks with the good side facing up. The grey paint around the window frame looks a bit like old grout.
With the light shining onto the surface, I have to say, the bricks are way too shiny, still *lol*.
But overall, we're ready for a photo shoot.
I hope you had fun browsing through the pictures and maybe you'd like to try making a brick wall yourself. I'm sure, there are many, many different ways to do it and if this quick and not so detailed tutorial inspired you, please tag me - I'm curious to see other results <3!
Have a great day! Nina*

111/365 -- Waiting in Vain
The truth is, it was actually pitch black outside (except for a few street lights).
I actually like the way this came out. The idea was to play with cookalories. In that respect, this shot is a total failure. Well, I wanted the slats to create shadows over my face.
I'll work on that and we'll nail it next time. Goodnight!
Strobist info: 1x Sb-800 with 1/2 CTS gel into white foamboard subject right, outside the window. 1x SB-600 behind subject left.
This seven-image set is based on the same setup that I used for Macro Mondays a couple of weeks ago (see flic.kr/p/2ptWG9u) although with a different capture and, mercifully, the right way up.
The marbles were in a wineglass and black foamboard was used as backdrop. The setup was lit from overhead using an LED penlight in a darkened room. It was a long exposure using a tripod and remote trigger - this enabled me to move the torch a little to build the light in the exposure..
I lost my marbles decades ago but, quite astonishingly, some of them turned up in the wine cupboard a while back. Strange…
The marbles, like me, are from the last century and it shows in their battered surfaces. But they’re made for playing with, aren’t they?
The edits are:
1 - Topaz Studio 2. This monochrome rendition uses Smudge and Glow effects to emphasise the lines and shapes and reduce the surface texture.
2 - Topaz Studio 2. This uses a Remix effect that is often interesting and can look very like stained glass.
3 - Topaz Studio 2. This is probably my favourite of the realistic incarnations. I particularly like the way the glass stem has turned out. It uses Smudge, Glow and Bloom filters. Confusingly Bloom is more of a glow and Glow (along with Radiance) is a linear extension filter. Sigh… [I’ll post this on Sliders Sunday]
4 - Topaz Studio 2. This is a straight colour swap with a bit of surface smoothing. Playing with colours is endless (if confusing) fun…
5 - Nik Analog Efex. This is a double exposure effect based around two copies of the image manipulated by the filter (rotated, resized and given a circular blur effect). It reminds me of nascent star clusters in the distant universe. This one was one of the most curiously interesting to my marbleless mind…
6 - Nik Color Efex. A fairly well-trodden path for me with this one: one of the many possible solarisation variations along with a bicolour filter and a vignette.
7 - Nik HDR Efex. I don’t often have much successful fun with this filter but this one worked out OK giving a very realistic effect. I particularly like the blue glass which was a side effect of changing the colour temperature. HDR normally zaps texture but I tried to limit that in the filter options.
I’ll post a link to the in-camera version in the first comment so that you can see where we started before the basic development and processing and the tidying-up work on all that dust.
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
Spent the morning watching Photoshop tutorials on YouTube and learning all about layers and masks. Then in the afternoon got called out to remove a virus from my neighbours PC. The evening was then spent shooting and subsequently tweaking this in Photoshop. I think my wife is due some attention in the coming days!
Strobist Info: Home made studio light with 3x 20watt white balanced CFL's to the right, bounced off white foamboard. Strobe Shot from above through umbrella at 1/2 power. f9 iso:100 1/125th through 50mm 1.8 prime.

Today was the second edition of LowlugXL, the open version of the (in)famous Lowlug Meetings. I think it was a pretty big succes with a crowd of over 400!
Because LowlugXL is two months before Legoworld in Utrecht, UrbanErwin and me thought it would be a good idea to try out part of our layout, including the new backdrops made with 5mm foamboard. I didn't expect this to be such a succes, but as you can see, it looked really neat. So I'm happy.
Anyways, testing is over, now it's time for the final pieces for Legoworld!
83/365 -- Golfer's Dozen
Yesterday, I played my second round of golf for the year. One of my worst in the last two years (I guess I better stick to photography).
I've been wanting to shoot something in black & white and high key at the same time.
What do you think of this?
Strobist info: 1x SB-800 and 1x SB-600 behind subject right into white foamboard behind subject. 1x egg tray to hold all the golf balls.

- all 3 items purchased at Hobby Lobby
And we're done! Don't tell Hachi, but she's actually inanimate and therefore unable to sew, so I had to do the job for her. I bought this top from Luts and it's very high and I immediately thought it would look super cute with a pair of high waisted jeans. Next I plan to make her some shorts, but that's AFTER I make some of my incoming boys some clothes DX Hachi at least has some clothes, they have none. At least, not enough to share between them >.>

The sewing machine set is an Our Generation set that i bought from eBay. 100% worth it. There's also an American Girl set too, it's a bit more realistic.
Everything else was whipped up by me The walls are made of foamboard, with paper and contact for the wallpaper. They're put together with pins, and so I can take them apart and flat pack them. I have quite a few of them lol. In the end i hope to make this her entire bedroom, adding another wall, and I also hope to turn the woodgrain wall into traditional Japanese ricepaper windows and a door. Hachi live in an old shrine mansion.
Hachi is a Unoa Sist Mod. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask
