Just a setup shot.
Running alot of risks being in a KU parking garage at 3:30pm with none of us paying for the spots and a person getting towed right below us.
I'm glad none of them got hit (which almost happen to one of them)
Props to the treasurer of VSA acting as my light stand assistant.
Strobist Info:
B1600 boomed above/center
Fired through 22" White Beauty Dish @ 1/2 Power
Triggered via Cybersyncs
Powered w/ Vagabond II
Simply put: blue gel on the left speedlite, the other one was bare. The yellow/orange tone was achieved via White Balance. The modifiers were a 1/4 Honeycomb in the left speedlite (Neewer TT-660), and a 1/8 Honeycomb on the speedlite at the right (Neewer VK 750 II) The TT-660 was at 1/4th power while the VK 750 II was at 1/64th.. You can see the glases thwrown on the table in order to produce the light bokeh behind (cheap trick, I know, but I really like it). 50mm at f/2.2 in order to achieve the bokeh (of course) and that's pretty much it.
You can watch the finished photo here :)

Occasionally I get questions about my setups, so I captured this one for Beetlejuice vs. Batman. As you can see, the "diptych look" is captured in-camera: no post-processing.
The back "wall" is posterboard. The two paper patterns are attached to the wall with sticky notes.
The "floor" is a dark wooden shelf with the two paper patterns positioned to line up with the wall patterns.
The "ceiling" is a 43 inch Opteka translucent disc reflector, a Christmas gift from my brother. Positioned on top of the ceiling is a $1 battery-operated light with a slight yellow hue (over Beetlejuice) and a disc-shaped LED with a slight blue hue (over Batman). Attached to the left side and aimed at Batman's face is a clip-on LED with a cone made of aluminum foil.
In the setup photo the room's lights are on, but for the actual photo they were turned off.
The camera is positioned just out of frame, relatively low, and pointed slightly upward. From this angle, moving Batman slightly forward helps hide the height discrepancy between the two figures.
As always, the colors, levels, etc. are tweaked in iPhoto before I upload to Flickr.
My very expensive macro photo studio.
Used to take e.g. this picture: flickr.com/photos/30588268@N03/2934491430/
this photo accompanies the photo "shootout."
strobist:
1 travelite 375 behind yellow backdrop paper to create the sun.
1 travelite 750 below the table lighting the backdrop to fill in the sunset
1 travelite 750 on very low power with a snoot above and to the right to light the main action.
A bit of a balancing act here, or 2 different lighting setups combined might fit better.
The lighting was split between the xmas decoration and the background light.
Starting with the subject, a pair of fixed output Neewer SF-01 mini slave flashes were shot through white printer paper screens to give a difussed light onto the ball. The position of the flashes themselves was chosen to not give too even a light, to bring out the shape of the ball.
The background is lit with a Yongnuo YN460 set at 1/8th power and with a Pringles tube striplight difusser to control where it was allowed to fall.
In the rear right corner can just be seen a piece of black card, which combined with the black foamcore sheet above, introduced a bit of contrast, to the gold cap on the ball in particular.
I hope all that makes sense :)
Lighting setup for flower bouquets (the one in this shot is not the same as the ones posted here and here)
SB28 camera left @ 1/2 power fired by PWII
SB800 camera right @ 1/2 power fired by PWII
SB600 (behind SB28 in this shot) @ full power to light backdrop fired by PWII
Gave this setup/shot a go after reading DH's post here - although such a small subject wasn't going to be a problem however!
Here is the setup I used for these nickels and this loonie. I took the picture in case i needed (or wanted) to set up the thing again
The light starts at the lamp, reflects off the glass of the frame onto the coin and illuminates the coin straight down.
The camera takes the picture through the glass straight down.
The black thermal tube is to avoid reflections from the sewing machine box off the glass in the frame into the camera.

Here is a pic of my recent lego setup.
Thought I would share how I do it.
430EX2 on light stand triggered with RF-602.
On the 430EX2 is a black A4 bit of card rolled up to make a snoot.

Side Note: These are 2 softboxes at my work we use for continuous video lighting. I took out the lights and rigged a way to keep my flashes inside.
My inspiration for todays shot was from the lighting setup of Michael Herb's 31/365 shot. I really liked how he lit it and wanted to try to achieve the same look with my equipment. I don't think I achieved exactly the lighting/shot I was hoping for but I think I have a better understanding of what to do next time. If you haven't check out Michael's work, you should definitely hop over to his stream. His 365 project is rockin!

I must part with my baby, anyone interested??????
S: SB28 L and R bounced into white brollies. SB 24 and 580 pointed at white seamless. 500DG above pointing down on kit.
In getting ready for sale I decided to get a nice shoot done of my all time favorite drum kit. I will keep this as a memory of my drums when they are gone.
Setup for Lady Laverna. Our Silkkistudio recently opened new Facebook page. Welcome to check our work also there :)
A quick snap of the lighting setup. The resulting shot is here. The uber geeky (matching) diagram is here.
Strobist:
2 Elinchrome Style 600S:
- 1 camera right shot through umbrella
- 1 behind subject shot through umbrella
1 - SB-80DX camera left shot through umbrella
Fired via sync cord
BTW - the SB-80DX is about 1/8 power and the 600S flashes are dialed right down to the minimum. I don't think I have ever used the 600S' past 1/2 power.

Pullback shot to show my lighting. All bulbs are daylight spectrum CFLs, one in the tall lamp for ambient room light and one in the homemade softbox. (See my DIY Softbox set for how I made it!) It's awkwardly balanced on top of a small box and my tripod, which meant I couldn't put the actual camera on the tripod. I need a better way to position that thing.
Backdrop is pretty paper I bought at the local art supply place, stickytacked to the wall. The black thing is a sheet of foamcore, I ditched it after a couple shots cause I was trying to keep it out of frame anyway.
Chair is American Girl from my childhood, recently rescued from my parents' attic. It's from Kirsten's birthday party set.
Setup for this shot, notes should explain everything.

Per a strobist article on food photography, I thought I'd try the simple "above and behind" setup to have it cast some nice defining shadows into the front of the scene, and soften those shadows slightly with a reflector in the front. strobist.blogspot.com/2009/07/boot-camp-ii-assignment-2.html
Read the notes on the picture. See the final shot here. flickr.com/photos/kevdiggs/113817310/in/photostream/
Simple setup for darkfield lighting.
A pair of tracing paper screens with a sheet of black card between them.
A pair of 20W CFL desklamps located behind the black card, which illuminate the screens.
The vase is sat on a glass shelf suspended approx 2inches/50mm above the surface of the table and has a silver reflector under, but I dont think it contributed much, if anything.

Setup Specs:
Desktop: 2009 Dell Inspiron 546s w/ AMD Phenom & Windows 7
This desktop's internal fans were very noisy. I think it was always overheating, and that is what caused the motherboard to fail. This may have been caused by the compact design. The hard drive was replaced once after 4 or 5 years, I nearly lost all my data. Then the motherboard failed after 6 years.
Performance wise, I never had any issues, it was a very responsive machine. Probably faster than my current Win 10 laptop.
Monitor: Dell S2409W
Not pictured: Canon Pixma MP620B (Died in 2018 or 2019).
Lamp from Estate Sale
Setup for 1 Miller Lite and 3 Miller Lites.
Strobist: An SB800 to the left with a shoot through umbrella. A second SB800 to the right bounced off the ceiling. Fired with pocket wizards. The bottle is inside a tent of white nylon.
@strobist:
Octabox from above with Jinbei DC-600 and a YN-568 in a softbox from the front left. The softbox in the right was just standing there and was not in use for this shot.
Extras after the lighting workshop. Tested one light setups with B2 which is ultra compact battery powered flash that can still give out good amount of light. Tiny flash head worked well with zoom, magnum, umbrella and even 3x4' softbox modifiers. More to come.

This is what we shot for the catalog cover (the full catalog photo session: www.akelstudio.com/blog/studio-lighting-setup-for-a-unifo... ), a close-up shot of one of the catalog boots. Customer wanted to show the boot on a cove and wanted to have the most rich, tasty and sexy (here I’ve run out of my English vocabulary :) look possible. They selected that high black rigid boot with their logo on the front to be shown, all on the black background.
