Week 10's lighting setup.
Gives you a rough idea of how much I would like to get outside and take some pictures...
Really getting tired at the lack of space.

This is the setup for the previous photo.
White-balanced on the background so there isn't much of a reddish cast to the photos.
Welcome to my ghetto studio.
White posterboard supported by a genuine ikea chair - very comfortable I might add.
Setup for the basic shots, that made up the vast bulk of the book content. Notes should explain everything.
That bench took me and the editor 2 hours to put together, cue much swearing and skinned knuckles as we wrestled with it and various tools.
The visi vest is there as a visual aid to prevent people banging their heads on the loose end of the boom arm. It doesn't stop people banging their heads, but it means I've got a clear conscience when they do!

Lighting setup for previous Black Caterpillar photo. Profoto B1 AirTTL studio flash with Profoto 2x2 ft. RFI Softbox. Profoto AirRemote TTL-C radio trigger. Canon 5D Mark III with Canon 100mm Æ’2.8 macro lens. White foamcore reflector.
The objective here was not to create a fancy or dramatic lighting effect, but only to flood this jet-black and low-reflectivity subject with as much light as possible. The photo is a stack of three exposures, with stacking done in Photoshop CC 2014..
The white LED lamp is for focusing. It remains illuminated during the exposure, but it adds no discernible light to the exposure.
This photo: Canon 6D with a second, bare-headed, Profoto B1 directed at the ceiling to fill shadows and reduce contrast.

This is my current ArnoSync (with ArnoShutter) setup for the Nikon D50 camera. I use this setup to photograph strobed macro's and flying insects. No modifications on the electronics part are done since last year. Only the housing has been replaced and a little redesigned to mount it on a standard 1/4- 20 inch tripod or use a camera handle.

I got my little brother to take a pic with my D40x of me and my setup for you guys. i did have an SB-600 on my camera but i switched it to the d40x so it would trigger my other strobes. Here is my final product: www.flickr.com/photos/davidparks/3153202742/
I like it when other people post pictures of their setup for technical shots, so I thought I'd do the same. This is what it took to take this picture.
It still has some problems. For instance, my tripod isn't steady enough- apparently it can actually keep microscopic vibrations that show up at high magnification for several seconds. In fact, the floor of my house isn't steady enough- I was just about holding my breath when I pushed my cable release. I really need a flash. Or two. Also, it seems this lens has a bad habit of blowing dust onto my camera's sensor when it telescopes in. Now I need a camera with a self-cleaning sensor, too. Maybe next month.
What to do on a snowy day? Take pictures of waterdrops. Turned out to be a lot of fun!
This is the setup that I used to create the images in this set
Since the room was to tight i had to use the umbrella on the left side leaving me with small room to make any arrangments. I put a white umbrella and not the silver to create a soft light coming from the left and avoid reflections on the mirror also had some balanced light coming from the wall in front of the clown. I also use CTO Orange gel on the flash to better balance the skin tone. PW for triggering the flash 580EX and I always use the CP-E3 for faster recycling flash as you can see on the setup image.
From the top: NEX 3, NEX-MD Adapter - Extension tube (for clearance) - Minolta Auto Bellows - Wollensak 35mm Movie lens with LED flashlight attached - Slide Copying unit with a piece of black plastic used to capture the snow in place of a 35mm slide.
I was fortunate to have a awesome second shooter as my wingman for this wedding, my friend John Conway.
The setup here is pretty much my standard, so far as gear is concerned.
Hard to see in the pic, is a lightstand holding a YN 5something(owned by John), in slave mode, playing rim light. It is set to 1/4 power. The umbrella is a 60" Photek Softlighter II, without the front diffuser attached, and held up by a Avenger (knockoff) C-Stand. Inside the Softlighter is a Eli' Quadra set to roughly 1/3rd power.....about P2.7 on the display.
My 5DMk3 was @ iso400 and f/5.6......and shutter between 1/30th and 1/80th. I didn't want to kill too much of the ambient from the decoration lights in the back ground, so that explains why the slow shutter and faster iso. Also, I had about 350 shots to take, and conserving Quadra power was important, as I was on the second battery by the end.
The lens I used belonged to John, the 24-105/4L (for the Image Stabilizer), stellar lens.
Nikon D810 & 4K Sony Camcorder & 45surf Achilles' Odyssey T-shirt Photos Taken by the Nikon D800E! She (The d800E) Was Jealous, But I still Love Her!
The 45surfer bracket setup for simultaneous stills and video (Nikon D810 + 150-600mm Tamron Zoom Lens for Nikon + the new 4K Sony FDR-AX100/B 4K Video Camcorder) allows me to shoot 4K video alongside 36mp stills of the Surf Goddesses! Will be using this setup at the Vans US Open of Surfing in late July in Huntington Beach (Surf City USA!), and the Hurley Pro at Trestles in September! This power was simply inconceivable a few short years ago! There was a lull so I shot some of the 45surf t shirts and 45surf hoodies too! Fall is around the corner when I sleep in my hoody every night as the Malibu Canyons nights get cold!
The Nikon D810 is the hottest model I have shot to date, up there with the swimsuit bikini model goddesses! :)
JK, I could shoot the bikini models with a Canon 5D MK3 even and they'd still look good.
Shown with the Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD Lens for Nikon ! For shooting Alana Blanchard & the surf goddesses at the Van's US Open in a couple weeks!
Nikon D810 + Sony FDR-AX100/B 4K Video Camcroder Photos Taken by Nikon D800E! She (the D800E) Was Jealous, But I still Love Her!
The Nikon D 810 is mounted on a sturdy aluminum Vanguard Tripod or quality Manfroto Monopod! I prefer the alunimum over the carbon as it is thinner and heavier and has less of a chance of getting caught in a gust and tipping over! Although it happened once at the grand canyon, but I caught it! But the lightweight carbon-fiber with the wider legs would blow away! :)
All the best on your Epic Hero's Journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy! :)

I found a cool lighting diagram web app. I say I found it, I mean it is new to me. Anyways, here is the link…
The rather makeshift setup. It's strange, when viewed from further back, the Yongnuo flash on the left, appears to be providing all the light, when it is really the little Neewer SF-01 just to the right of the subject. The homemade card snoot pointing down at the card below does look a bit strange, but it works well to give a controlled beam of light and doesnt require much masking from the black backdrop, which is about a yard/meter behind the subject.

A few more notes on the pic.
This is a view of my setup from the couch. Out of frame on the lower left is the eye for the IR repeater on the other side of the wall for all the devices. Photo on top of the TV is courtesy of Mike Houge (fellow Flickr user) That is a Pioneer 42" Plasma connected to both an Intel Mac Mini and a big PC, with the second display (19" LCD) as the PC's main display. - Uploaded with a demo version of FlickrExport 2.

So far, I love this setup. The only downside is that it is about counter height, and I have yet to find a decent stool for that.
How I went about photographing The Reconstruction of Fort Oswald.
Because you can never have to much hype on a creation.
Bit more of an elevated view of the setup today, which I hope will show how it was all put together.
This shot was all about getting a balance between the lights and it did take a bit of playing to get where I wanted.
There are 3 x 20W CFL lamps in use here, so starting with the simplest. The circle of purple on the backdrop is provided by a bulb mounted in a Pringles tube snoot, which has the end 4inches/10cm's lined with black paper to give the tight circle.
Next on the left, a desk lamp with a built in chrome reflector, placed behind a screen of white printer paper, which is used to put a little light on the shadow side of the figurine.
Finally on the right, the one that took me longest to get right. The lamp here is fitted into another Pringles tube which acts as a reflector and allows the light to be directed. Not sure it shows in the photo, but the reflector makes this lamp more efficient and is quite a bit brighter which gave a bit of a problem.
The screen in front of it has 3 layers of paper to reduce the power. There are 2 sheets of tracing paper seperated by the width of the box which makes up the screen, which is about 2inches/50mm.
In addition a sheet of white printer paper is added to the front screen, but leaving a gap at the base. This allowed the light to fall off with height so the small figurine was lit from the side, rather than above.
Now I guess I had better go out and get some more light fittings so I can expand this further :)
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 :)
I just started the planning a complete new setup including a diy-table
