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)
This is how my work setup looks like at the moment, until we change office building for a brand spanking new one :)

My setup for the preceding two pictures. It used to be on the desk, but moving to the floor (carpet on concrete) hugely reduced the amount of noise the contact mic was picking up. You can't see it, but my contact mic is sitting right underneath the cap from a gallon can of methanol.
I love the tripod I got for Christmas. Nothing like getting something really quality to make everything else you've ever used feel like toys.

Canon EOS 30D / 50mm 1.4, f/8.0, iso.100, 1/125.
This shows where the foam layers just sit on top of the table. The pieces don't have to exactly match up. Just use the tape to stick the pieces together. This is all going to be under the sheet so no one will see the mess.
This is the setup photo for Super Ma.
The backdrop is made of a sheet of scrapbooking paper held in place by a clipboard. Backlighting is provided by a single incandescent flashlight aimed at the center of the sunburst pattern.
Above the scene a large circular diffuser (not shown) softens the ambient light in the room.
A simple magnifying lens (not a macro lens) is used to enhance the close-up.
I often use iPhoto to adjust levels, tweak colors, crop, etc. But his is one of the few times that I used the "Antique" effect to give the palette an old-fashioned look.
To get a closer look at the equipment I use, check out my Gear series.
Shot taken in Ballydowane Beach, Waterford Ireland. I was totally setup for a long exposure shot when suddenly a 71 year old man trotted own the beach in his horse. Not thinking too fast I had everything wrong on the camera. 90 percent of the shots were a waste. This was the only suitable composition that I thought worthy of trying to drag something back from.
Macro test setups.
Test object : KC73129MP
Number of Effective Pixels: 500(H) ´ 582(V)
Unit Pixel Size: 9.80µm(H) ´ 6.30µm(V)
This is a CCD with fine structure as a test object. The structure is uniform, perfectly straight and the dimensions are fixed. The macro magnification can be measured easily.
The 100% crops are always 600x400 pixels. Since a sensor pixel less than 10 um the resolution of the image can be properly checked.
I use a new tube-lens, the AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm 1:4G ED.
The advantage with this lens is the possibility to change the focalt length. This also changes the macro ratio. The ideal value is 200mm and this lens performs excellently. At other focalt values the quality remains very good but there are problems with the lighting in the corners. You'll practically limited to about 150mm. At 135mm you will have to adjust the angles sure if your image is in that zone. Smaller than 135mm is no longer usable, you lose too much by the dark corners. Successive images show these results.
This is a setup shot for this shot.

I used some darker colors in the cut but still finished with the light grey color. This also helps to blend in the model pieces with the terrain sheet. The road crossing really needs to be cut down more.
I uploaded this one to show how/where I attached the fishing line (near the base of each glass). The line runs off to the right. I simply pulled it while my son hit the shutter release.

So here's a setup shot from the double espresso shot. Nothing fancy.
The cup is empty because I had already had the coffee before I thought about taking a setup shot :)

The setup shot for the Wine Glass photo.
This is my take on the Strobist DIY $10 Macro Studio. It's made from A3 foamboard and some bits of plasticard and plastic chanelling/angle from a local model shop. The top and sides have the centre cut out to form a 1" wide frame and are covered with tissue paper. The cut-outs can be refitted if the diffusion panels aren't required. It's done this was rather than from a cardboard box because it fits neatly into a portfolio case together with a selection of white and coloured backgrounds.
Lighting setup for the most recent portraits.
SB-80 DX in white shoot-through umbrella camera right as key, white reflectors camera left in front for fill, gridded SB-28 on stand back camera left for hair light, and gridded SB-28 on floor to light backdrop. All triggered with V2s, shot with Nikon D40, 18-55 mm lens
This is the setup plan for April 2019.
I may not have any other pictures of this setup because the Ottawa river is flooding my house and I am not able to go sorry.
This is my current desktop setup while Im studying in the UK, away from my home desktop pc.
My Toshiba Satellite Pro U200 with its 12" screen at 1280X1024 was perfect for taking with me to work and the Uni last year, weighing only 1.8Kg. The screen was perfectly adequate for browsing/games between breaks at work and excellent on a lectureroom desk, where youre close to the laptop anw and space is needed on the desk.
However, 12" as a research pc that youll often spend 5 or more hours on, reading documents and browsing, is definetly not adequate :/
Tempted as I was of building a proper pc, I ditched the idea as I would probably play games on it all day, so I ended up with this setup:
BenQ FP222Wa 22" screen at 1680X1050 px.
Dell USB Enhanced Multimedia keyboard
Logitech V400 mouse
Logitech X210 2.1 speakers
Netgear switch
Buffalo Duo 1TB (2X500GB) Raid External
Cheap-ass case for old 100GB 2.5" HD
I use the BenQ as the primary screen, and the laptop's screen in extended desktop mode with Foobar 2000 permanently open and DisplayFusion randomly changing wallpapers, seen through Foobar 2K which is semi-trasparent. Multi-mon toolbar helps when I want to send something over there, to get it out of my way.
Unfortunately running Vista (the Toshiba sports a 1.8GHZ Core 2 Duo, and Vista is a bit heavy on it now and then), slightly customized with uxtheme dll hacks with a different theme, using rocketdock for folder/program access,launchy for quick lauching stuff, rainlendar for RSS, weather and to-do list, and finally the sidebar for notes, clock, remote desktop and CPU/Network stats.
Sorry if I bored you ;P , more detail of this setup might be posted (in Greek) on my site, www.cyprusmania.net
Two seperate tests being carried out here.
First up with the camera lense, which had 4 x Close-up lenses stacked up to give +17 dioptre lense. Distance from the front lense to the focus spot on the stamp, was just 75mm or 3 inches.
Focussing was done manually of course and my preferred method when I can, is to move the subject, rather than the camera.
The second thing I wanted to try was with the lighting. I'm sure many will recognise that I have fitted a paper cup from a take out coffee onto the flash and yes, it has got the white plastic lid still in place. This enabled me to get in really close to the subject without putting too much light out, or getting any flare on the lense. The distance from the subject to the lid on the cup, was just 75mm or 3 inches, by concidence, the same as to the lense.
The Yongnuo YN-460 was set to 1/8th power and was fired by a radio trigger which can be seen disappearing off the bottom of the pic.
The result can be found here :

and a more conventional flat shot here
This here is the setup i use to get macro images of insects I've been posting on Flickr to date.
The body is a Canon 550D
The lens is a 50mm Mark 2 Prime lens.
This lens is reversed on a set of macro extension tubes with a 52mm thread reverse ring.
I made the extension tubes longer with a toilet roll and some duct tape.
The flash is connected to the camera body via a flash chord and the flash has a diffuser attached - Home made and one built in.
Any questions, feel free to ask me. Thanks.
