Lighting setup for my self portrait www.flickr.com/photos/ha5mi/5023825403/ and www.flickr.com/photos/ha5mi/5023825285/. 1/250 on f/11, ISO 100. 2 key light (1/4) on the sides, 1 hair light on the top (1/8), and a fill light on (1/4) thru a white umbrella from the front.
Setting up the BayLUG 2017-2018 museum show in Palo Alto at the Museum of American Heritage, including VIP reception for museum donors.

The setup I use for taking flower closeup focus stacks. A background draped over or stuck to a wine cooler (in this case some butyl rubber pond liner but often a sheet of paper) height of the subject varied using wine mats. Once I've got a shooting I want I simply slide the lens on the table mat (camera is handheld) for the varying focus points for the stack. In case you are wondering I also often make rubber washers from the rubber sheet :)
Setup used for this series of shots, excuse the mess which built up over a couple of days of playing with this.
The chunk of broken glass is sat on a sheet of glass from a 12" x 10" (300mm x 250mm) picture frame and has the underside spray painted black to create a black mirror.
This in turn is sat on an old glass shelf (material not important) which is used to raise everything above the tables surface. This is to enable the snooted light to be placed underneath.
There are 3 x 20W CFL lamps in use for these shots. The first is the snooted light under the shelf, which has a Pringles tube fitted to it and this creates the circle of light on the background.
The other 2 lights are placed to the sides, behind screens of tracing paper to illuminate the subject tself and care is taked to avoid light from these leaking onto the background, within the frame of the shot anyway. You will have noticed that the screen on the left is partly blacked out with a piece of card, this is to give a narower light to bring out the texture in the glass, rather than an even illumination.
Due to the slow shutter speeds, mounting the camera on a tripod is essential for this type of shot.
Hopefully, some info which will prove useful amongst this lot.
I guess putting the various shots together in the comments below will show the differences well to make comparisons. Worth a try anyway :)
Everyone that has asked, here isa the Burning Man Setup. No lights except those from the ambient.

Here is the set-up for the Screaming Self Portrait images.
Strobist Info: SB-28 set at 1/8th power through umbrella to camera right. SB-600 and some old minolta flash aimed at background one from right and one from left. The SB-600 was set to 1/8th and the minolta has no power settings so I used 3 layers of a white handkerchief as a ND filter (I heard that each layer is a stop so it was also at about 1/8th). I put a gobo on each of the background lights to prevent any light from spilling on me.

Becoming a familiar setup :)
Simple setup of 2 sheets of tracing paper seperated by about 2inches/50mm to give a good even spread of light. Behind this there are 3 x 20W CFL lamps shining directly onto the screen.
The bottle is placed on a polythene business card box to raise it above the sheet of glass which has white card under it. This is flanked either side by sheets of black card to bring out contrast.
Though it appears this was taken in the dark, it wasn't, the room was well illuminated at the time, the concentrated light and aperture/shutter speed keeping out extra light.
Setup shot for this photo.
A pretty basic "dark field" setup. SB-800 in the 47" octa, an SB-600 with a blue gel in the snoot and another SB-600 in the small softbox. Triggered with Cybersyncs.
I took a picture of a blank card in a pile of coffee beans today. I though I'd share the "simple" setup with you. Who needs a light tent when you can build one with things you get for free.
It's basically a one-light setup with a single Cullman CX 35 at 1/4 power on top of the light tent at about 90° to the camera axis
List of materials:
2 foam cards + 1 foam stripe in front as well as smaller parts in the back
6 empty bottles of beer
5-in-1 reflector
Tripod
Cullman CX 35 Flash
Canon 400D + EF 50mm F/1.4 USM

I'd have the model run past, shoot, chimp, make adjustments then move the setup 10 meters down the beach so we didn't have foot prints in the sand, then try again,
The gear is cactus kf36 flash triggered by a cactus v4 trigger on a tripod, i find the tripod better than a light stand on the beach. I also really need to great a softbox to control the light better. there is another kf36 on a flash bracket on the camera for fill.
This shot was probably taken 10 minutes before the sunset really came to life.

Spring is sprung here, well so it seems anyway. Usually a good sign when the willow at the end of my garden decides to open it's flowers, so I'm hoping we have left winter behind :)
Also gave me another excuse to play with the new ringflash, LOL.
One thing I had not tried, was in conjunction with other flashes, or with radio triggers. I'm pleased to say it works perfectly, though there is just one small failing. It doesnt for some reason seem to be strong enough to trigger another flash set on slave mode.
Wether this is down to the lack of light, or that the flash duration on it is much longer, so it is not recognised as a flash, I'm not sure. Just a minor inconvenience and no big deal.
With this shot, I resisted the temptation to do any editing, apart from a slight crop and re-sizing. It could probably do with a few tweaks to the levels/contrast, but I wanted to keep this straight from the camera for a change :)
Setup as normal can be seen below :-
in the interview room:
Equipment/setup:
White paper taped onto table with outline drawn around the recording area (the white paper helps the webcam with the brightness of the screen on tablets and smartphones)
Articulating arm for webcam mount is the Manfrotto 244 Variable Friction Magic Arm with Camera Bracket
It's secured with a Super Clamp
(articulating arm and super clamp both available through B&H photo)
Logitech 1080p Webcam Pro C910 with a 3/8" hole drilled through the clip
Mac with iChat, iGlasses, Silverback App
iGlasses (software) so that the video preview window can be rotated and mirrored.
Make sure iChat is set to operate in 32bit before opening (finder, info fo iChat and select 32bit) -- otherwise iGlasses won't be available
Open iChat Video Preview window, choose Preferences, select external Logitech webcam, to view the output from the Webcam onscreen (logout of iChat)
Use iGlasses, in iChat, to mirror and rotate the video image in iChat video preview
VGA cable from Mac into TV in observation room (other side of mirror) so observers can see the iPad (via the iChat Video Preview Window) -- requires, of course, appropriate converter for Mac
External 1TB USB hard drive for Silverback Recordings (because this type of video recording creates 20-40gb files per 1hour of video)
Silverback App on the Mac for recording picture in picture (Macbook is turned towards participant to use the built-in isight camera to grab video of participant) -- be sure to tell Silverback to record on the external drive.
The Mac is propped up on on a Fold N Flip Portable Laptop stand
The setup for a 'practice photoshoot' at IT Mill - the plan is to photo the whole staff at some point, but the plan is progressing slowly. This time we tried a dark theme. And since it was a 'practice' session, we didn't bother to iron the backdrop. Mental note to self: always iron the backdrop ;-)
Strobist info:
Flash 3 was as pictured above for 'Jukka' -photos, and bounced of a white sheet of paper on the laptop screen for the 'Sami' -photos.
For the IT Mill Photogs group.
Lighting glass from behind with a couple of 20W CFL lamps.
The lamps were placed behind a screen of 2 layers of tracing paper placed about 2inches/50mm apart to give a more even spread of light.
The vase is placed on a sheet of glass painted black on the underside, which gives the reflection.
This is flanked on either side by sheets of black card, to darken the edge of the stem of the vase.
Probably sounds more complicated than it is, but hopefully the pic shows how simple the setup is.
Worth noting on the shot below is the darker base, which was achieved by raising the camera higher than in this setup shot. I happened to like that a bit better ;-)
Canon 6D Mark II with an EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens. Atop the camera is a CamRanger 2 WiFi adapter. Beneath the camera, and beneath the Manfrotto ball head, is a Slick Master Deluxe tripod that I received as a Christmas gift in 1973. It was purchased at the Central Department Store on Silom Road in Bangkok, Thailand.
Supplemental lighting: Profoto A1X with Soft Bounce.

Setup shot for Alan Brogan, Jermain Defoe, Ashley Young, and Roman Pavlychenko. Notes should explain everything. All the lights are so far apart because of having to allow for their run up when they went sprinting past the camera.
