This setup looses some of the 'spontaneous' aspects of photography but sure gets nice results. I can't say enough good things about the Canon 35-80mm lens with the front elements removed. A great low-cost macro option with top-notch results. I also really like my Velbon Super Mag Slider which I got from kijiji and paid a silly little price for ($40 Cdn) hehe.
Actually, every single piece in this photo was purchased from kijiji... maybe I should do an add for them!

Setup for backlighting a glass of fake bubbly.
A continuous sweep is formed using a piece of fax paper.
A pair of 20W desk lamps are placed above and behind, so their light patterns overlap to try and get a smooth(ish) gradient to the light.
A pair of V shaped black cards are placed either side of the glass to give some black reflections. These are placed so they are not symmetrical to avoid too formal a light, which I feel matched the backdrop better.
The result can be sen below.
- 580 EXII @ 1/4 24mm with 1/4 CTO trough Apollo Westcott Softbox cam right
- 430 EX II @ 1/4 105mm bare cam left
- 430 EX II @ 1/4 105mm bare cam right
- EOS 5D MKII @ 1/160 ISO 500
- EF 50 1.4 @ f/7.1
- triggered with Yongnuo RF-602
Setup for:
Strobist:
Ranger A Head, A port at 5.0, 135 Midi Octa with both diffusers, behind and just above me (See catchlight).
Ranger Quadra A Head, A port at 4.0, 100 Deep Octa with both diffusers, above subjects.
Ranger Quadra A Head, A port at 4.5, 130x50 strip with both diffusers, rear camera left
Ranger Quadra A Head, A port at 4.5, 130x50 strip with both diffusers, rear camera right
RX600, 5.0, 21cm reflector, rear camera left to light white background.

Setup used in recent waterdrop pics. Clear plastic water container standing on a glass with some sweet paper wraps underneath. Crisp packet behind to supply extra colour
This is how my entertaiment setup looks like at the moment. If someone ask why I'm uploading this: I don't know. I noticed it's a trend on flickr to upload Work-Setups and Entertaiment-Setups so I'll go with the crowd.
Conatins:
- Phillips Ambilight 42" LED-TV (August 2009)
- Xbox 360 which is mostly used for streaming FullHD content from the iMac
- Nitendo Wii which is underneath this's photos bottom line.
- Thomson Home Cinema System which is on the left side of the Sideboard.
And a lot of other stuff :D
There is a quite ugly, kitschy Murano glas bowl in the basin (the one from the fruit salad). Underneath that bowl is a pocket flashlight for nice reflections. The water is dripping from the water tap in the bowl and -- with a little luck -- the drop gets captured by the camera (which is operated via a remote cable trigger).
Canon EOS 500D, Std-Kit-Lense 18-55 on full tele + B+W 4 diopters macro lense, Yongnuo flashlight + Yongnuo remote trigger, both from eBay.
Plus: There is a magical diffusor sock placed in front of the flash -- it won't work without ;-)
Plus: Approx. 30 minutes for testing and arranging the perfect setup and approx 1 h for viewing and deleting the 200 images with no drop in. :-)
Lighting Info:
KEY/MAIN: 5ft octabox with gold and silver inserts with X1600 cam right
FILL: 32" reflector with Sun Gold cam left
Backlight: 580ex aimed at the cam

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.
Closer view shown below:
Setup shot for the "Kettle Collection" photo.
Lighting Info
- SB600 at 24mm and 1/1 power level in a 28-inch Westcott Apollo softbox camera-right. I shot this without the diffusion material over the front of the softbox. About 6 feet high, angled down and slightly toward the camera. It is roughly 3 feet from the subject.
- SB600 at 50mm and 1/16 power level in a collapsed 43-inch Westcott [shoot-through] umbrella camera-left. About 6-feet high, angled down and toward the subject. It is roughly 3 feet from the subject. I also put a flag on the wall-side of the flash to control the amount of light that was hitting the back wall.
- White foam core placed camera-left and about at the same level as the subject. It is actually pretty much below the collapsed umbrella, and was used mainly to throw a little light on the labels of the 3 glass jars on the left-side of the table.

Nothing wildly exciting about the setup, more tried and tested. A pair of Neewer SF-01 mini slave flashes to either side, partly lighting the backdrop and some difussed light through tracing paper screens falling on the leaf.
A third Neewer located below and behind the base as main light on the backdrop.
The two to the sides fired by Blazzeo SLT-4 radio triggers, the one behind by it's optical sensor.
An additional flash was added for this setup shot as it was a bit dark with the dark blue backdrop. It has washed out the colour of the card backdrop a bit, but the reflection in the acrylic sheet used as the shooting surface gives a good indication of the colour.
This is the lighting setup I used for my soon to be posted film noir shot. I cutout a light modifier to make fake venetian blinds, and also used a DIY grid snoot. I really could have used another flash as I wanted the bottle of whiskey lit as well, but that will need to wait. Not much of a "studio", but it is what I have in my "man cave" :)

Hmmm, not sure this setup looks anything like the final image, but it would have been so dark, nobody would see anything.
Just pretend the ringflash on the camera lens is turned off :)
Not absolutely sure the 2 spoons are in exactly the same position, as I messed around with angles a lot here.
The key to the shot is the light source behind. This is provided by a diffusion screen with a pair of remote Neewer SF-01 mini slave flashes hidden behind it. These are fired away from the screen to bounce light off a white card placed approx 12inches/30cm behind. You can just make out the shadows of the flashes through the screen.
Directly behind the spoons, a sheet of black card is placed in front of the screen to prevent direct light and provide the black background.
The spoons are placed on a piece of black felt, which does a great job of soaking up stray light and preventing reflections.
What wont be obvious here, is that the surrounding area has black card around it and the room lights were turned off, to prevent any stray relections from showing up in the spoons.
May sound like a lot of work for a very minimalist image, but it's all good fun :)
The final rendition can be seen below:-
The new setup for 2010. New design is now almost ready. Many new function are added into the new version. The hole unit is redesigned for optimal use. Wireless remote flash control is now integrated into the main setup. The wireless works on 868 MHz and drive multiple remote flashes in TTL mode. All setings are done via the console on the unit. New function like temperature, time clock and many small change like short disable of the camera during capture to re-aline the lasers to the object etc.. An extra third AVR controller (Atmega328P) is added to the unit to support the new functions. The basic controller stay the CPLD board due to the highspeed timings and the parallel processing of all the functions. The number of I/O signals is increased. The lasers need to be redesigned for better fine-tuning. This must result into capture of supersmall insects in-flight, smaller than 0.5mm
The old version ano 2009 stay actief until the new version is ready. The parts are in stock, drawings are made now. This take a lot of time to realise but the proposed time to be operational is near begin March 2010.
This is how my work setup looks like at the moment, until we change office building for a brand spanking new one :)
The slope is a bit more noticeable, but the main feature is the RR cut. The sheet is just an old bed sheet that was dyed green oh so many years ago. It was also sprayed with cheap hardware store paint to give it a a less uniform color. Over the years it has been touched up with more spray paint so it has acquired quite a rich patina.
The thing to remember is that everything can be redone if it doesn't look right.
The setup shot of September's Patreon photo. Patrons will receive digital access or a 4x6 print, depending on level of support. Cheers!
The studio setup for "Crimson & Gold". The only problem is that the colour of the red silk bag has gone somewhat pink.
Entry for Scavenge Challenge December: #4. Now, show us how you set up the shot (lighting, props, etc.). (Rob, #3 and #4)
