since some of you asked for it:
Here's my setup.
20" iMac (early 2009)
22 " Hyundai TFT
21 " Techwood Flatscreen TV
Apple Keyboard, Magic Mouse
Wacom Intuos 4 M
13 " MacBook (early 2010)
HP Photosmart C4680 Printer
iPhone 3GS 16GB
Blackberry Curve 8300
Toshiba 1TB External HDD
t.bone SC 400 Microphone
Trying to streamline my portrait lighting setup. I want a mini portable kit that is easy to grab and go. Typically I use a Flashpoint SL-360 StreakLight 360 Watt which, although smaller than most lights, is bigger than I want.
The setup in this picture is two Flashpoint Li-ON Zoom's. The mark 1 not mark 2. I use them in a clamshell configuration with a SMDV DIFF60 Speedbox Diffuser-60 below and a silver umbrella above at a 45 degree angle. I use the Manfrotto stands which I bought about 8 years ago. You can find the same stand for a lot cheaper. This setup easily fits in my Pelican 1510 along with an extra light.
I really like this setup as it is easier to travel with than a Streetlight 360, It's external battery and a boom stand.
It's a setup shot, of Fi Ironing, but it doesn't actually show much, mainly because our hallway is so narrow there was nowhere else for Pierre to go. I've added notes in a vain attempt to fill in the blanks.

Starplex controller that we had setup with Star Castle Arcade (since the original arcade game did not use a joystick).

A flagrant misuse of strobist equipment. This scene is mostly made up from a Speedlight Pro kit from www.adstudiosolutions.com/Products.html
A bit of cheating involved- trap hoverfly with glass and card. Stick suitably sugar/honey laced "rest" with blu-tac to wheelie bin lid. Wait for hover to land on side of glass, remove card and place glass over the rest. Put suitable background card behind card. wait a couple of mins for hover to find the food, Remove glass and start shooting. The hover was comfortable enough to allow me to revolve the rest for different angles. Not sure I'm entirely comfortable with trapping the bugs outside but you can get interesting results and it does them no harm
A quick look at the setup - This is my usual shooting space - now overrun with laundry and a sister-in-law's Wedding Dress. So what was once a limited space is now a *very* limited space.
Strobist info:
Canon 430 EXII - 1/16th - Softbox - Camera Left and high
Nikon SB-900 - 64th - Umbrella - Camera left and low.
This is a different setup for me than normal - I'd like to get a second softbox and try it out with that rather than the umbrella.
Setup for "scrunch" and "portrait of the artist on red".
Strobist info:
2 Nikon SB-600s at 1/8 power with red gels right blasting the back wall.
Vivitar 285HV at 1/16 power with Honl 1/8 Speed Grid to light my face.
Laundry hamper as placeholder for where I stood.
Triggered via Pocket Wizards.
Setup shot showing a bit more clearly how I shot the "shot within a shot" image. It's very easy to do this sort of thing without any photoshopping, simply get the balance right between the flash exposure on the main subject, and the light falling on the camera you're shooting, then make sure you dial in enough ambient light to let the image on the LCD screen show.
The flashgun and brolly are used to dab just a little bit of light onto the D700 body, as otherwise it's silhouetted by the light from the set.
Notes should explain all.

Yet another use for an old Pringles tube, this is becoming a habit :)
A simple striplight for a flash to use for close up tabletop work.
The tube is one I modified previously to house a CFL lamp and can be seen more clearly here : www.flickr.com/photos/steveblackdog/4576501520
To mount it on the flash, an opening is cut into the plastic lid of the pringles tube as shown here : www.flickr.com/photos/steveblackdog/5081708793 Though I did improve on this slightly by putting a rubber band around the head of the flash after the lid was in place, to stop it sliding forward.
The flash is a fixed output Vivitar 2800 which has served me well for years, but probably not ideal, as it was a bit powerful. At first I tried it higher up and the tube gave a really good spread of light, but I thought if I reduced the power and got it closer to the action, it would be more useful.
Simple to do, a sheet of white paper from my printer, rolled up and inserted into the tube reduced the light to be able to use much closer.
Initial results are quite promising and I shall be playing with this some more :)
Image from this setup shown in the comments below.
See the resulting pic here.
Strobist:
2 Elinchrome Style 600S:
- 1 camera right bounced off silver umbrella (fill)
- 1 camera left shot through softbox (key light)
Fired via sync cord
Why mix the light modifiers? Because I only have one softbox and it was already on the strobe (I was too lazy to take it off). Actually you'll notice the shadow is "harder" to camera right -- that shadow is caused by the directional control of the softbox. The remainder of the room was mostly just "filled" with light from the umbrella with no real directionality.
2 gridded Vivitar 285HVs top left and right at 1/16th power to light up the cam, another at the top gelled blue plus grid at 1/4th power to light up background..
light painted with a blue gelled torch to spice things up..
Here is my camera setup for the following macro frog photos (see below). Using the 100-400mm is impossible for macro photography unless you get the extension tubes that allow you to focus at a shorter distance. The minimum focus distance of the 100-400 is around 6 feet, so in order to get the lens this close to the frog (about 1-2 feet away) i used kenko extension tubes.
Also, to make it easier to actually take the photo, i recently purchased the L bending optical viewer so that i could view from the top. This helped so much, i am so happy i made the purchase.
I also had a polraoid battery grip to raise the camera a little while keeping the tripod mount on the camera lens so i could have the camera sitting on the ground when i took the photos to prevent camera shake.
Playing with the 5D II and 100-400mm L with the kenko extension tube set to try out some macro photography. View more in the set.

Here's a shot of the setup I use lately for PR head shots. In this shot you can see the three AB800's (in alien green) and the two AB400's used for backdrop. The key light is on the left with a 47" Octabox, the hair light on the right has a snoot w/ 20 degree honeycomb, and the fill light on the right has a 30 degree honeycomb w/ barndoors. The two backdrop lights have white shovels on them to direct the light in a scoop shape.
Bah, darn color management. THIS IS A NEW VERSION with the correct color profile.
This photo is the setup for this shot.
My son goes to Cotillion on Wednesdays, along with his dance partner. We arranged a portrait shoot right after Cotillion, when they would both still be dressed up. The location was at the marsh's edge, on an open vista.
Strobist: Gemini 4700@full into umbrella directly above subjects to camera left; Sunpak 383 Super@1/8 behind subjects, gobo'd, on camera right-- to provide separation. See the setup here.

The Lighting setup for both the cover of "Inside Poker" and the interior spread. The notes should explain pretty much everything.
Just in case anyone was interested. Black velvet background. SB-600 shot at 1/2 or so power, CTO gelled fired via CLS. Two paper plates covered with foil. Small mirror leaned against a book in the center
