I hope that I can upgrade soon to the 7RII a better macro lens and some Mitutoyo microscope lenses and maybe some studio flashlights. For now: A77, tamron 272 ES, 2x YN560 III, Stackshot.
The setup for the milk photos (just milk and milk + chocolate), on some the 430EX was on the left as pictured, for others it was on the right. The height of the milk also changed to try to get different angles.
I didn't use any automatic triggers, just a lot of takes! :) I used my daughter's baby bottle to make the drops.
Finally taking a little time out to experiment with LCD sources for camera tossing, this was the setup. A slowly rotating filled polygon built with processing. These were just trials and unfortunately I won't have any polished results to share... and here's why...
The sad news, although camera tossing is dangerous, I always said it is far less dangerous than just everyday handling of your camera. I just proved it. I finished a round of trials with this setup, put the camera down on the pillow on a chair (the same pillow I had been using to catch it with), and it promptly flopped off onto the floor. Lens train was smushed, popped it back into place, but the focus mechanism refused to work after and it is officially dead with a dreaded "camera error" on boot. *sigh*
I had written several scripts and many of them had various different behaviors... I was looking forward to testing with them. Alas.

Setup for This Shot
Wordrobe by: www.upscalestripper.com
This is my Bike Packing setup for some days out camping when the better weather comes, this was just to see what gear I could load up without it being overloaded .
With the tent and two side bags I can comfortably carry around 10kg, 2kg of water and another 2 kg with the front bar bags .
Still probably too much weight on the back ?
A. Primary light source.
B. I used this panel to block the light for the minifigures in the foreground, so that they're in shadow. This made them look nice and creepy.
C. With the camera angel so low, I could put some figs on this loose block of ground so that I could move it in or out to get the figures in the right spot (so that they weren't blocking something important behind them). It saved me re-positioning them. With a camera on a tripod it's not that bad but holding my phone with one hand while trying to alter things gets annoying really fast.
D. Drawer of implements. I intended to have a rack of ominous tools in the shot but it was creepy enough without it...
E. Spare Duplo figure with laughing/upset expression.

Hi All
I have promised this for quite awhile....and hear it is.....my setup.
The main framework is black steel pipe threaded into flanges screwed to some plywood I had laying around. I monted the valve, syphon and eye on scrap wood. The wood is held in place using spring clamps and extra little slivers of wood for leveling. I know the tray looks odd...thats because it is. Its actually a "boot tray"...you know, the ones people put their boots in by the back door. This tray is about 28' X 14" and is the best secret for infinite BG's. Because there are ridges in the bottom of the tray, i have a piece of plexi laying in it and then the whole thing is put in a plastic garbage bag........I know...I have way to much time to think of these things. The tray works well and is only about $2 from the dollar store. There is plexi behind the tray that is held by shelving brackets. The 2 speedlights are on clamps on a light stand. The electronic control is to camera left with everything wired into it. This is the Stop Shot system and I believe...at least for me that it works well. You will also see other things like gels for the flashes, Jet Dry for the water, a jug of dyed water for the syphon and aot of other bits and pieces. I didn't clean it up and make it pretty for the picture...why not see reality. Check out the notes for more details. For those new to this, the shots are taken in near darkness, the programmed number of drips are released, trip the eye and beging the countdown to the flashes firing....all of this take about 1/3 of a second and is done with the shutter open. thats why the metadata reads aout 1'.
Enjoy and once again, thanks everyone for your encouragement and comments.

Added later....the 2 speedlights are set at approx 1/16 power and each gelled a different colour.
The paintbrush is for getting bubbles and other floaties out of the frame.
There have been some questions. Thats why I addd the flash & paintbrush info.
Sometimes nature looks like something has been set up.
I say mother nature is the best architecture.
We are all just props in her big setup :)
It took a while to get that swamp woman shot right. The four smaller pics are all early shots that I wasn't satisfied with. The bright background makes the swamp seem shallow, like a stage set. A cool effect but not what I wanted here (would be cool for other pics tho). Adding the walled backdrop of her enclosure really helped (seems so obvious in hindsight). Also I wanted to frame the figure more so I used some black slopes and plates (arrows in top pciture) to gently funnel the eye toward the figure with lines. Then two small LED lights to catch some highlights.
Even with the final setup, it still takes many photos to get everything right; some foreground plants but not too many, no gaps in the backdrop, etc.
It's hard to see but there's a viewing window in the back there. I tried to get two SCP Foundation staff staring at the creature but getting their faces in the shot was a headache so I gave up on that.
