MADE POSITION #3 & FRONT PAGE IN EXPLORE 11TH NOVEMBER 2010
This was taken on a shoot not long ago. One of my favorite pics for a while. Just love the expression. The catchlights leave a lot to be desired for but it just makes me chuckle every time !!
Taken with my D3000 and AFS Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6 VR at 1/160 f/9 at ISO 200. SB28 in silver umbrella high camera left, Yongnuo YN-462 II camera right in shoot through umbrella (key light) against Lastolite 6'x7' Hilite illuminated with Phottix DGS 150. Setup with Sekonic L358 and fired with Cactus V2s.
The shots were processed in CS4 first and the B&W conversion completed in Lightroom 3.

In April 2020, as we were in lockdown, I tried to renew my approach of garden subjects by shooting available foliage and flowers in macro, but handheld and lit with a flash to freeze any movement as may have been caused by the breeze.
Thus, I placed one of my Phottix Pro Mitros+ cobra flashes (connected to a Godox PB960 battery pack) on a Manfrotto Nano stand and brought that with me as I walked around the bushes and alleys. On the camera was a Phottix Pro Odin II flash controller, which allowed me to set and trigger the flash remotely, without any cable, and that setup worked very well, from a technical standpoint, as the radio range is, I think, more than 100 meters and doesn’t care about walls or other obstacles as a line-of-sight infrared communication link would.
From an artistic standpoint, this new approach gave me some interesting results, I think. I will upload the dozen shots or so over the next few days, you can always let me know what you think in the comments... Thanks in advance!

Setup: Main: Godox AD360 with Phottix Para-Pro 1.5m;
Bottle from the Lampe de Méduse vintage from Sainte Roseline vineyard in Provence. I also have a more high-key one with a slightly different lighting. All in all, these attempts at macro shots of a bottle were not too successful, because the obligation to keep it macro constrains whatever “vision” I may have. I don’t have much of one to begin with, and having to keep it macro makes it even more difficult.
Shot taken for the Macro Mondays group, theme: “Bottle(s)”.
Strobist and technical info: One Phottix Pro Mitros+ cobra flash on a Manfrotto Nano light stand and MagMod Magshoe flash attachment in backlit Rembrandt position to camera left, 1.5 meters from subject and 1 meter above it, firing at ½ power through a 22 × 22-cm Lastolite “Joe McNally” Ezybox 2 softbox with double diffuser; and another Mitros+ cobra flash on a Neewer tabletop stand in backlit Rembrandt position to camera right, 1.2 meters from subject and at the same height, firing at ¼ power through a gridded Andoer snoot.
Strobes set and triggered via Phottix Pro Odin II radio controller on the Nikon Z7 hotshoe, manual mode. Sekonic L–858D light meter used to balance light sources. Gitzo GR3543XLS tripod with Arca–Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Nikon Z7 camera body, Micro-Nikkor Z MC 105mm ƒ/2.8 S macro lens. Flashes powered by Godox Propac PB960 battery pack.
Senior session. Very last bit of light outside, very delicate…my favorite time to shoot. Lit with a Phottix Mitros+ inside an Apollo soft box. Triggered by the Odin controller. The light was changing by the minute so having the control of the light on the camera was huge. Become a Facebook fan.
This macro shot was taken in the studio for some theme–based group, back in September 2019. I do not remember which one, nor what the theme was! I have a behind-the-scenes snap (which I have also uploaded), so I can describe the lighting setup below.
Shot tethered with TetherTools bright orange cable —and extension! as my office, desk and computer is 30 meters away from that table... Fun, but not very convenient.
Strobist and technical: One Phottix Pro Indra500 monolight on a C–stand in zenithal position, 1.5 meters above subject, firing at 1/16 power through a Phottix Pro basic reflector fitted with 30–degree Andoer grid, 1.8 meters from subject and slightly above it; and another Indra500 studio strobe on a Profoto light stand in Rembrandt position to camera left, 2 meters from subject and slightly above it, firing at ¼ power through a Phottix Pro 110–cm Luna octabox with double diffuser. White card reflectors on two sides.
Strobes set and triggered via Phottix Pro Odin II radio controller on the Nikon Z7 hotshoe, manual mode. Sekonic L–858D light meter used to balance light sources.

My son Liem dressed as Eggs, the Box Troll for a contest on Amazon's facebook page.
Lighting was 1 YN560 in the "high voltage" box at 1/2 power.
Fuji X-T1
Fuji xf 56mm f/1.2 @ f/5.6
ISO 200
1/180s
2 YN560 in a Phottix 36" double folding umbrella (love the compactness of this umbrella). Umbrella and flash mounted on a monopod with a Phottix multi-boom, hand-held by my wife above, and camera left. Flashes was set to 1/2 power as well.
on a side note, my monopod, multi-boom, double folding umbrella combo is excellent when you are on your own. The monopod extends to 72", plus another 16" for the Phottix multi-boom, giving a good range of placement of the light source. I can hold the monopod setup in my left hand while holding the Fuji X-T1 in my right hand.
Taken in old towne Petersburg where there are still cobblestone roads and old brick buildings.

Thanks for looking!

In May 2020, as we were still in COVID lockdown, I had another go at overpowering the midday (or afternoon) Sun and lighting outdoor macro subjects with flash only.
The equipment was the same I had used previously: one of my Phottix Pro Mitros+ cobra flashes (connected to a Godox PB960 battery pack) on a Manfrotto Nano stand and triggered remotely by the Odin II flash controller on the handheld camera. The very short duration of the flash allowed me to freeze any movement of the subject due to the wind.
To obtain a soft light, I placed over the flash a Lastolite Ezybox 22 × 22–cm “Joe McNally” softbox with double diffuser —the best softbox I have ever found (and I’ve tried a few!) for cobra flashes. I had also done that for the previous series shot in April 2020, of which I uploaded a selection to Flickr but without mentioning that technical information that may be of interest to some “strobists”.
Male Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna) hovering near a feeder.
I took this photo almost a year ago (April 2015), but only recently rediscovered it in my Aperture archives. I decided to work it up because I liked the colors so much. The hummingbird's position reminded me of a ballet dancer en pointe.
Strobist Info: SB-800 at 1/16 (+1/3) in mini softbox from camera left. SB-700 at 1/8 through umbrella from camera right. Phottix Strato II wireless trigger on SB-700 with wired sync cord from trigger to SB-800. I don't have it noted, but I believe the background was the shaded interior of a cardboard box.
Note: I composited the eye in from a different photo of the same bird because the bird was blinking in this frame.

The yellow box on the left is, I think, what is called repoussé, or “embossed” metal, and it’s got to be brass, judging by the color, or perhaps an alloy with a lot of brass in it. It is very heavy and was made in the 1880s. It comes from my grandmother. The round thing in the center is a unusual lacquered wood and ceramic (the blueish part on top) Chinese box for opium and is supposedly 17th century. I was told once by a curator at the Musée Guimet in Paris that it is museum-caliber.
The other round thing, the one on the right, is extremely heavy (almost 3 kilos) and comes from Nepal. I reckon it is bronze. It is a set of measuring cups that fit into one another for storage like Russian dolls.
In the back, the black and gold thing is a kintsugi piece done by my wife. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of fixing broken items of pottery or china with a lacquer called urushi, mixed with powdered gold. Thus, what was broken is made whole again, and owing to its scars, more valuable than it was before —very symbolically Japanese.
The rusty, larger box is a personal lockbox from the late Middle Ages or early Renaissance. It is made of iron. It is essentially a small safe for jewellery and other precious personal belongings. It opens with a key but the location of the lock is very cleverly concealed. It has lost its front overlapping part, unfortunately, and so isn’t worth much, even though it is a period piece.
And as I felt the need for an item of color to top it off, the little round orange thing is a cardboard box from Hermès, in which they sell the small silk scarves they call “twillies”.
I only upload a small sized version here, but the full-size 8,300-pixel TIFF file has details that blow you away! This Z-mount 105 macro really is something!
Strobist and technical: One Phottix Pro Indra500 monolight on a Profoto light stand in lateral position to camera left, 1 meter from subject and 0.5 meter above it, firing at ¼ power through a Phottix Pro 150–cm Raja Deep parabolic softbox with double diffuser; and another Indra500 studio strobe on a Profoto light stand in Rembrandt position to camera right, 1.5 meters from subject and at about the same height, firing at ¼ power through a Phottix Pro 110–cm Luna octabox with double diffuser. Black paper backdrop.
Strobes set and triggered via Phottix Pro Odin II radio controller on the camera’s hot shoe, manual mode. Sekonic L–858D light meter used to balance light sources. Gitzo GT3543 XLS tripod with Arca–Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Nikon Z7 II camera body, Micro-Nikkor Z MC 105mm ƒ/2.8 macro lens.
Composite shot made of 16 focus-stacked exposures set using the built-in function in the camera. Stack processed with Helicon Focus software, Method B.
Male Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna) maneuvering near a feeder.
The slight blurring at the edges of the wings and along the tail feathers resulted from ambient light reflecting in off the ground. I opted not to clone it out because I liked the sense of motion that it conveyed.
Strobist Info: Four speedlights (SB-800, SB-700 and two 540EZs, each at 1/32) ganged in shoot-through umbrella from slightly above subject, camera left. Silver reflector (foil) below subject, camera right. Phottix Strato II wireless triggers on the 540EZs with sync cord to SB-800. SB-700 triggered by optical slave. Background is black foamcore with radial gradient added in post.

This has been in our family (or rather, the Scottish part of my family) since the 1600s, if I remember correctly. It is quite battered, even though it has been “re–polished” or something several times, but I wouldn’t part with it. I got it from my father upon his passing a few years ago, the way it has been for generations. There was another ring before that one, I saw engravings of it, but it was made three or four centuries before that one and had become too frail to wear safely. Its metal was, I think, melted to create this new one.

On foot, walking past an abandoned building, this "little" creature was kind of hard to miss. After the sun went down I returned with a couple of lights, and macro tubes. Tripod set, key light set (take a couple of test shots), fill light set (test shots), then a bit of focus play just to be sure. All the while not moving one bit. I stand up, tell my friends "I'm good," and the critter knew it could go about it's business. Everything still set up, and in it's face.

Technical and strobist info: One Phottix Pro Indra500 monolight on a Profoto light stand in lateral position to camera left, 1.5 meters from subject and 0.5 meter above it, firing at ¼ power through a Phottix Pro 80–cm Raja Deep parabolic softbox with double diffuser; and another Indra500 studio strobe on a Profoto light stand in backlit Rembrandt position to camera right, 1.5 meters from subject and 0.5 meter above it, firing at 1/8 power through a 30–degree grid and standard reflector.
Strobes set and triggered via Phottix Pro Odin II radio controller on the Nikon Z7 II hotshoe, manual mode. Sekonic L–858D light meter used to balance light sources. Gitzo GR3543XLS tripod with Arca–Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Nikon Z7 II camera body, Nikkor Z MC 105mm ƒ/2.8 S macro lens. White card reflector angled underneath subject.

Photographing round objects with artificial (studio) lighting is very difficult, because of the reflections coming off from all over the place.
When the round object is made of glass, difficulties are compounded.
I took a couple of quasi–macro shots of this small glass apple (about 3 cm in diameter) as I was studying studio lighting for the purpose of tabletop and small objects photography. It was a good exercise!
Unfortunately, I do not remember the technical details of the lighting, so I cannot describe them and post to groups that require that sort of information. My two Phottix Pro Indra500 monolights were certainly involved, plus maybe one or two cobra flashes, as well as modifiers (diffusers) and scrims... The thing is, the lighting was not so badly designed (even if I say so myself!) that I cannot tell how the lights were arranged just by looking at the picture...!
This is the second photo, posted as announced before. The lighting is obviously very different from the one in the other photo below. There is some backlighting.
