These are two of the three lighting setups we had.
1) ring light on the right with a black backdrop
2) 3 studio lights (2 1000W's in soft boxes) and a bare 500W. We also had a reflector below and in front of the models, hand held by Mitra
3) not shown here was a couch and I didn't manage to get a shot of that setup but I believe there were two lights on it and a reflector
Change to the lighting from that used in my previous attempt at this.
Vivitar 2800 with red filter, held to the top of the background board by a spring clamp with a coldshoe fitted to it. In addition a small flag made of card held on the head of the flash with a rubber band, to prevent light hitting the water directly.
Front right, Yongnuo YN460 with a homemade snoot and grid , with the power dialled right down to 1/64.
Not seen in the pic, on the far left, a green wine bottle, which is reflecting a small highlight onto the candle holder. This was a happy accident, well I like it, others might not :)
LOL, just realised when viewed as a thumbnail, this looks a bit like a darkroom, if anybody remembers what they looked like :)
The room at the time was fairly well lit, not anything like as dark as it looks in the photo, which was exposed for the flash.

Thanks to LearnMyShot for the back lighting ideas! They have an awesome tutorial which inspired this shot. Check it out: www.flickr.com/photos/learnmyshot/4318729569/

here is a setup shot. randomly taken as Priscilla acts a fool :) haha.
i feel like the set up should have been different but im still happy with the overall shoot.
man i need a boom stick for the beauty dish asap.
Setup shot for these shots - mine, and the published one.
Notes should explain everything.

This is now becoming my favoured setup for a white background in the lightbox.
Three Neewer Mini Slave Flash units, one each side and the third from above, all fired with radio triggers. The lightbox is fitted with tracing paper diffusion panels on the sides and white printer paper in the top panel to give a softer overhead light.
The seamless backdrop is from a roll of fax paper, which has really good reflective qualities, the non-coated side being used, as it doesnt mark up like the coated side and gives a smoother finish.
The desk lamp at top left plays no part in the lighting, it is just to aid focussing and overpowered by the light from the flashes.
If you have come straight to this setup, the result can be found here:
Strobist info: Camera left SB into umbrella at 1/64 for fill. Camera right gridspot SB at 1/8 power. For background, birdcage light is snooted 1/16 power at 85mm with 1/2 CTB gel. Overall color temp of final image is cooled further in Photoshop.

This was how I built the lighting setup for my recent podcast shots.
1) First, I shot the background light, got it the way I wanted, then turned it off and worked on the kicker.
2) I worked on moving the kicker light to get the right side highlight I wanted. Then turned it off and moved onto my front keylight.
3) Now, i worked on how the front light would look.
Then, after i had each light individually setup... it was time to fire them all off at the same time in concert. Tada.... one final setup. It's like concentrating on each light on it's own was easier and able to see what it was doing. Then fire them all off and wham. You got it!

Setup for Lagunitas IPA.
Strobist: SB800 to the left and above with shoot through umbrella, SB800 to the right and above, SB800 behind and bounced off the rear wall. Also the bottles are sitting on an old home made light-box that used to be used to sort slides. All fired with pocket wizards.
Setup shot for shooting the Porsche photo in my very small home tabletop studio.
Sometimes I don't know if I'm taking photographs or doing Yoga exercises...
Check the notes for detailed comments.
The final result is here:
wide angle pinehole camera. Hasselblad 12 back, 30mm focal length, prontor press shutter (from and old microscope setup), 200 µm pinhole (f 150).... and lots of light leaks.
Arduino and hiviz.com audio trigger setup for Milky Music..
There is some stuff on the experimental board, which is no longer used.. And I know, its not really nice, but it works..
Assembly instruction for audio trigger can be found on www.hiviz.com
3 light setup- 2 aimed at the rear and one in a hybrid/umbrella softbox. All triggered by Pocket Wizard. Strobes all at full power
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.

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.
This is the makeshift low hide I used to photograph birds feeding on the fallen apples.
The hide just used wooden batons for the frame, and I stretched a hammock tarpaulin over them. Inside I used a groundsheet, and a self-inflating camping mat to lie on. I had a modified Manfrotto 190 tripod with shortened legs I use for macro photography and a cheap gimbal head.

A simple light setup to test my new equipment that I purchased.
2 Vivitar 285HV flashes.
2 Translucent umbrellas.
2 Skyport triggers
2 Impact light stands
Large reflector up front and some stone wash curtain material found at Spotlight.
What a pose. Don't you just love photographing your own kids.
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 :)
Strobe info:
Vivtiar 285hv full power camera left pointed at rear tyre
Vivtiar 285hv full power camera right up high pointing down on bonnet and front guard
Final shoot can be found here:
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!
