I must part with my baby, anyone interested??????

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.
Strobistinfo:

My workspace right now. Pretty much my ideal combination of glass-and-steel cleanliness, device integration and wireless freedom.

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 :)
Setup for Lady Laverna. Our Silkkistudio recently opened new Facebook page. Welcome to check our work also there :)
This is my setup for a shoot i should be doing tonight (nevermind, it got cancelled), in my living room haha. Strobist: bet you can't guess ;) vivitar on right through DIY softbox at 1/4, vivitar through white shoot-through umbrella 1/16.
This was a colaborative effort between me and a fellow photographer Jason, sharing equipment and ideas. Teryx 1&2 are a couple of shots I took.
Setup for the beanbag shot. There's another angle of the exterior, here.
Notes should tell the story.

Showing the setup from the front doesnt always give the true story of how the lighting works. So I'm hoping this aerial view might help to show how this darkfield lighting is done. It is worth noting, an additional light was added to the front for this setup shot, to show the components a little better with all the black around :)
Lurking behind this are 3 x 20W CFL lamps. A bare bulb hidden by the black card behind the glass, which is flanked either side by another pair in Pringles tube reflectors lying on the table just below the shelf, pointing back at the white card background.
To the sides are a pair of V shaped screens, with black cards attached to the sides pointing forward and white cards on the sides facing the background. These form the channel through which the light passes from the background onto the glass.
Lurking in the gloom at the front and dificult to see in the dark (you might need to view this large) are another couple of sheets of black card, folded into a V shape to stand up, which help prevent reflections from the rest of the room appearing on the front of the glass.
Now if you can make sense of that lot, well done ;-)
Bringing back an old well used setup to try it with a new twist, more of which in a moment.
The basics are tried and tested, a raised base of glass painted black on the underside, to give the reflective surface.
Under this, an 11W CFL lamp in a Pringles tube snoot, pointing to a yellow card backdrop, giving the graduation from light in the centre, falling away toward the edges.
To the sides, diffusion screens with 20W CFL lamps in Pringles Tubes reflectors behind them.
Normally I would have left it like this, but I wanted to see what kind of reflections I would get on the the black glossy surfaces, using a ring flash on the camera lens.
Have to say it worked a lot better than I was expecting, the curvature on the mug in particular, elongating the circular higlight into a very narrow oval and it did a great job of illuminating the labels.
Not to everybodies tastes I'm sure, but I quite like it :)
The result can be seen below.
Variation on the setup I showed yesterday, but this time with added colour :)
A pair of Neewer SF-01 mini slave flashes placed each side and pointing slightly outward to reduce the amount of light hitting the black part of the backdrop behind the jar, As I'm sure is obvious, these are fitted with red and blue filters.
To inject a bit of white light also, mounted above is a Yongnuo YN460 dialed down to just 1/32 power and also fitted with a white card flag/reflector, again to direct the light away from the black portion of the backdrop. The flash is mounted on a spring clamp attached to the top f the backdrop.
The two side flashes are activated by Blazzeo SLT-4 (PT-04 TM) radio triggers, while the Yongnuo above uses its optical sensor to slave off the others.
To the front right is a Yongnuo SYD-0808 LED video light which is used solely as a work light and has no impact on the photo due to it's low power compared to the flashes.

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.
Model: Sara
Strobist setup:
- 430 EXII @ 1/8 through 28" Westcott softbox cam left
- 430 EXII @ 1/16 into golden reflective umbrella cam right
- 580 EXII @ 1/2 through 50" Westcott Softbox
- EOS 5D MKII @ ISO 400 1/160
- EF 27-70 2.8 L @ 70mm f/10
- triggered with Phottix Tetra
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).

One of the advantages of taking more than one camera with you when you go somewhere to take some photo’s (if you have access to more than one that is), is you can use two different focal length lenses or you can take some behind the scenes/ setup type shots.
This is an old image of my Panasonic GF2 with one of the best wrist straps I have ever found, a Gordy’s Camera Strap. All mounted on a Joby GorillaPod for some sunrise shots at one of my frequent haunts, Cottesloe Beach in Perth.
