As a beta tester for Rogue Flashbenders, I decided to run a workshop in the 40's style of George Hurrell.
We used Veronica Lake as our muse.
Nikon D3, 70-200vr
Rogue Flashbenders: SB900 with snoot as main light, SB800 with snoot as hair light, SB800 with grid for background and gobo light.
I'm really happy with this one. I tried to get as much detail as I could in the pitcher while leaving the background nice and soft.
The most difficult part of this shot was getting the light just how I wanted it. I kept blowing out the subject.
Strobist:
-LP160 @ 1/64th @ 24mm through a 16 degree rogue grid, about 12" above the subject, angeld down a touch and aimed to just skim across the pitcher.
-White reflector camera right just outside of frame to bring up the right side a touch.
Camera: Nikon D7000
Lens/Exposure: 50 mm f/1.8@50 mm / ISO 100 / ¹⁄₁₂₅ sec at f/1.8 / Manual / Handheld
Your dream is still alive good sir. Your dream is still alive.
In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr day on the 21st of January.
Shot with the Nikon D7000 and Nikon 35mm F1.8G prime lens. Manual exposure mode, F7.1, 1/50th second shutter speed, ISO 640, spot metering. Lighting via Yongnuo YN560 II speedlight in manual mode, 1/16th power with the flash head zoomed to 85mm. I used a Rogue grid on the flash with the 25 degree honeycomb grid insert and a full cut of CTO (Color Temperature Orange) gel to warm the column of light and to bring out the rich tones of the hardwood floor below. The flash was on a Westcott boom arm attached to a Paul C Buff heavy duty light stand. Flash triggered with PocketWizard Plus II on camera and flash. Camera was handheld while lying on the ground.
In 2013, I'm doing a 365 shot a day project with the theme "Toys. When you're not looking". The idea is to capture familiar toys dealing with the situations and challenges that life throws at them in the real world, just like a human would.

Off camera flash on a light stand, flash was fitted with a rogue grid 3 in 1, blue gel, set at 16 deg hence the tight light.. Standard 125.F8 Flash at 1/8th.
No vignette was added post.
The object is a rubber dog toy!
Neutral base was thanks to the white bathroom roller blind!
I wanted to back light this small flower to light up the translucent petals and make them glow so I placed a Strobie 130 in a Rogue Grid behind and camera right at 1 o'clock. For fill light I positioned a YN560-II in a soft box camera left, in front at 8 o'clock. Both strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
Kim's first moonflower of the summer. I got lucky with this one - it appeared on a Friday night, so I could stay up late and play. Usually I only get a glance in the morning as I drive off to work.
Tech: Tripod mounted Canon EOS 60D, Aputure Trigmaster radio triggers. Yonguo 560 III with a Rogue Flash Bender above and camera right; Yonguo 560 with a Rogue Grid and purple gel about level with the flower camera left. Adjust, chimp, and re-adjust and repeat method was used for determing the exposure.
I adjusted the purple to be blue in Lightroom, then applied the "Vivid Dream" filter from onOne's Perfect Effects.
This is a shell that we've had weathering in the garden for quite a few years. When I set out to light this I wanted to emphasize the three chambers, I wanted them to be dark, and I wanted hard edged shadows. Since small light sources provide harder light with hard edged shadows than large diffuse light sources, like a soft box, I used just one Strobie 130 fitted with a Rogue Grid (so that I could control where the light went) positioned camera right. I used a small hand mirror to bounce a little light onto the left side of the shell so that the pointy end (a technical scientific term) wouldn't go completely dark. The flash was in manual mode, and was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I thought that this kind of lighting was well suited for black and white, so I converted it using Nik software's Silver Efex Pro 2.
I also did a color version of this shell, in which I used totally different lighting, which provides an rather different look. I prefer the starker and hard edged black and white version, but everyone has different tastes. You can see that version down below in the comments.

A friend of mine from the Polyphoto Club in San Diego recently purchased some strobes, and as he had never worked with off camera flash before, we did a little mini workshop at my house. I had picked this rebloomer iris earlier in the day, and used this as a demonstration on one way that he could use off camera flash to light anything.
Lighting information: For the main light, I positioned one YN560-II in a 24 inch soft box at camera left and about 4 inches from the flower. For fill light, I used a large silver reflector at camera right. While this worked pretty well, it didn't show the white bits (a technical botanical term) in the center of the flower. To light the center I hand held a YN560 in a Rogue grid. The Rogue grid acts to limit where the light goes. Both strobes, and my tripod mounted camera, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

This flower is fading fast, but I thought that the colors and shapes were still interesting.
Strobist info: I wanted to show the translucent quality of the petals so I back lit the flower by placing a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind to camera left at 10 o'clock. For fill light a placed a YN560-II in a 24 inch soft box, camera left and in front at 7 o'clock. Both strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

Playing around with lighting & filters. I didn't intend to keep the cat ears on, but it almost feels like they belong there.

Spongebob was dropped into a rectangular, glass cake baking tray. Repeatedly.
Shot with the Nikon D300 and Nikon 28-70mm F2.8 AFS lens @ 45mm. Manual exposure mode, F14, 1/200th second shutter speed, ISO 200, spot metering. Camera was tripod mounted and shutter triggered with Nikon shutter release cable.
Main Light was a Nikon SB900 speedlight in manual mode @ 1/16th power zoomed to 85mm in a Rogue grid with the 25 degree honeycomb grid insert. That flash was on an Avenger C-Stand with a boom arm just to camera left, aimed at the drop area on the surface of the water. A second Nikon SB900 in manual mode @ 1/64th power and the head zoomed to 105mm with a blue gel was placed on a light stand with a boom arm and position low below and behind the glass, aimed up at the bottom of the glass cake plan. A Westcott 30" diffusion panel from a 5-in-1 reflector kit was placed in front of that flash to diffuse the light. Both flashes were triggered with PocketWizard Plus IIs on the flashes and camera.

Defiant Sunflower in the snow.
When I came home from work today after driving through the snow, I found that Denise had left me a stuffed Sunflower from the game "Plants Vs. Zombies" on my desk. I decided to take advantage of the weather and with today's shot show that Winter can still be a bright and cheery place if you just imagine it to be.
Shot with the Nikon D7000 and Nikon 35mm F1.8G prime lens. Manual exposure mode, F5.6, 1/200th second shutter speed, ISO 200, matrix metering. Camera was tripod mounted and shutter triggered with Nikon infrared remote.
Lighting via one Yongnuo YN560 II speedlight in manual mode, 1/128th power with the flash head zoomed to 105mm. On the flash I mounted a Rogue grid with the 25 degree honeycomb grid insert into it to control the beam of light on the stuffed sunflower and hand held the flash and PocketWizard Plus II that I used to trigger the flash.

Kim brought these gladiolas home from work; one of her coworkers lives on a farm and brought these in.
Strobist: two flashes, triggered by Aputure Trigmaster radios. On the right, the main light, a Yongnuo YN-560 modified with a Rogue Grid. On the left, above and behind, a Canon 430 EX II with a Rogue Flashbender bent into a snoot and fired at very low power (1/32 or less). The whole thing is set up on a table in the basement; I built a frame out of PVC pipe over which I have hung a black sheet.
