Here is my setup that many of you were asking for!
I would suggest to everyone that it is NOT a good idea to have your drop setup in any room with carpet. I was able to get my whole setup cleaned and all the nasty water into a gallon pitcher. But that gallon pitcher never made it out of my room. Now it rests as a BIG green splotch on my carpet. Lovely
I spent many hours trying different setups. Most of my drop pictures i have uploaded recently have been in different setups i had. This is my final setup that suited me well!

All setup and lighting info is in the notes accompanying the pic above. Or at least I hope it is... ;-) Move your mouse over the pic to see the notes. If I've left anything out please feel free to ask. :-)

Here is the setup shot for Cristal Beauty. I had her hold the Moon Unit for fill seeing that I dont have a reflector.

This is a quick lighting setup for wedding photos. This is the lighting setup for shots like this shot of the groom picking up the bride, this full-length photo and this nice portrait. It's similar to the 'clamshell' lighting, but not so much a 'clamshell' as an 'octa-stack'. Basically, it is 2 Vivitars at 1/2 power into shoot-through umbrellas that are stacked, one on top of the other to give a nice soft, vertical light source.
2010.
setup for this.

Model & Wardrobe: Alexander Parker

Assistants: Brittany Sturrett and Jessica Whitehead
Strobist: Two Profoto Acute2 packs, 5 heads. One high, center, and front (key); one high center and back (hair); one on each side and back (rims), one behind model for background light; all were gridded 10°. Alienbees ABR800 Ringflash on-camera.
Current setup as of today. Since the last photo I took, I sold the HDDVD player, packed the DVD recorder away, and now all there is is the TV, AV Receiver, PS3, Sky+HD box, and dad's old CD player.
This is beginning to look familiar :) Maybe I should have switched the red and blue around for a bit of variety ;-)
I have altered the angle of the overhead light in this shot to better show the working area, but it does still show how the brightfield lighting works on the bottle. The black portion of the backdrop is slightly compromised because of this.
The black portion is an A3 Sheet of Fun Foam and is postioned approx 12 inches/300mm behind the bottle. I find this foam is less reflective than card and use it most of the time.
The large white part of the backdrop is an old advertising sign and made of a heavy duty kind of Foamcore with a plastic instead of paper covering. Onto this I fit various sheets of card/paper/foam sheets as required with spring clamps at the top and as you can see, clothes pegs.
The flash at the top is also mounted on another spring clamp which has a screw on cold shoe to mount the flash.
This is a Yongnuo YN460, set at 1/16th power for the actual shot. This is fitted with a card flag/reflector to prevent the light from falling on the bottle itself, I have altered the angle slightly to allow a little more light spill for this setup shot.
The little flashes to the sides are Neewer SF-01 mini slave flashes, also sold as Godox CF-18 or Vivitar SF2000's. These are mounted on Blazzeo SLT-4 radio triggers (re-branded PT-04 TM) which are in turn fitted on cheap mini tripods.
Also worth noting is my worklight in the front right corner. Though the room is far from dark, the lighting is subdued and this light helps me see what i'm doing.
It is a Yongnuo SYD-0808 LED video light set on it's lower setting and left on the whole time. As you can see, it has no impact on the photo due to it's low power compared with the flashes, it's still too bright to look into directly though.
Experimental setup to edge light a glass, using just 2 small lights and a pair of DIY difussion screens 9 Details here : www.flickr.com/photos/steveblackdog/5026934119/ )
By using the screens, I was able to both light the glass and mask the black part of the background from the same lights. Hopefully the photo shows where the light was hitting the backdrop.
The lighting is a little off balance as the left screen was fitted with tracing paper, while the right had a sheet of white printer paper. Hopefully it shows the tracing paper gave a slightly harder light.
Lights were a pair of Neewer SF-01 mini slave flashes, mounted on Blazzeo SLT-4 radio triggers and mini tripods.
As an aside, all the lighting gear used for this shot, cost less than £40/$60, so if you thought using flash off the camera was expensive to get started, it needn't be.
Setup shot showing the general lighting setup for most of the interior shots, and the cover of the supplement, as well as a view of how I shot the "shot within a shot" image. Notes should explain everything hopefully.

For the curious, I took a setup shot for the Racing Stripes photo.
The HeroClix figure stands on one of my green shirts. A blue posterboard serves as the backdrop. I placed a couple of push-lights in front of the Flash (only one shown). As is typical for my toy photography, a large diffuser (not shown) is positioned above the scene.
The striped streaks were made with colored pencils and markers on a simple strip of paper by my wife and me. The strip is propped up with a box of raisins at the front and one of my LEDs in the back.
The camera has three inexpensive magnifying lenses attached to the front, not a macro lens.
I post-processed the image in iPhoto, mostly brightening the colors a bit.
Setup shot for this one.
X1600 in beauty dish above camera
X1600's on either side of backdrop, about a stop higher than beauty dish
I've just been clamping white poster board to the reflectors on the background lights to cut flare rather than trying to get anything large home from the hardware store and it's been working pretty well
There was a lot of traffic through the room the day this was taken, but usually the backdrop would be fully extended over the floor to cut the orange reflections from the wood floor.
Photo both I setup for friends wedding see photo for strobist info; guess triggered camera with pw wich triggered alien bees with PC chord
Light setup for a portion of the yoga pose shoot.

It still amazes me how much I can do with two flashes and some cheap triggers.
(No setup info nessasary because of the setup photo.)
My new office setup, including my MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz 2 GB, LaCie external HD 250 GB, Griffin Elevator, Apple wired keyboard and Apple wireless Mighty Mouse.
This is the setup I used to create "Watching in the Dark".
Camera mounted on tripod and fired remotely. Canon 5D mark III with 70-200 at 135mm. Manual focus and manual settings: ISO100, f/13, 1/250.
Two Canon EX-580 flash guns triggered with PocketWizards. One light to the left with grid and small diffuser, manual settings +2 power. The right light also with a grid and manual settings, -3 power.
The camera was pre-focused. I shut off the lights in the room and had the flashes angled so that they wouldn´t light the background.
The left light was the main light and elevated to create the shadow under the brim of the hat. The right light was used as a soft fill to light the eyes under the brim.
Post-processing in Lightroom CC. Work mostly consisted of cropping, dodging and burning. I also added the facial camouflage with colored brushes.

Microscope lens setup. Effectively extension tubes and a extension tube to RMS cone adapter giving approx 160mm from focal plane to objective. A USB mini LED lamp fed from a rechargeable battery block (that goes in my pocket). The disc near then of the cone is actually a twin flash mount but comes in handy to rest the camera on when taking shots of subjects on hard surfaces
