So this is a setup shot taken to show what I did to take the previous, "One Word" shot.
This was a real world, practical setup to create the shot. No heavy-handed "Photoshop" work was done to create the image of the planet and word inside the drop of water.
To do this you need to set a lot up before you take the shot. Three things need to be lined up for a successful shot.
1) The subject and camera need to be lined up so you can see the drop of water on the end of the blade of grass in this case. Distance for the magnification and height to just see the thing.
2) Then I bring in the background/refraction subject. That needs to be lit harshly, yet no spill over light onto the drop of water. I use a focusable hand held flashlight. The angle of this light is very important.
But the distance of the background is something that you need to figure out by moving it up/down, left/right and forward and back. Each direction makes a small change in the refracted image inside the drop of water.
The background can be anything you want it to be. For the image I created I used a restriction free image that NASA released to the world a while ago. Its called, "The Blue Marble."
I then drew the letters for the word (a couple times actually to get the size right) and colored them in and cut them out using a razor blade from the single stick labels I made them out of. Then I stuck them onto the image.
This is a real image that was created in a practical way. Not all done in photoshop. Hell, I don't even own that software.
There are plenty of videos on YouTube covering this technique, just search Water Droplet Refraction.
Set up shot for Analisha. You can see the key light but also behind her there is another flash illuminating the second circle's wall. Hidden behind the first wall is another strobe giving her rim.
This is one of the shots taken with that setup (not the best one since it doesn't show the rear background lit). This one by Andrew is.

***1/5/11 - Note: The setup as seen here was only really used once or twice. Although it offers quite a bit of mangification, it isn't realistically usable in the field due to it's weight - therefore this image is not representative of my usual setup.***
I've been getting a few e-mails recently about what equipment I am using to take my macrophotographs. So here's a picture of my setup.
The camera body is a Pentax *ist DL DSLR body.
The flash is an old Vivitar "Zoom Thyristor 3500" connected to the body by a cheap off-brand off camera flash cord. The flash is mounted on a bizarre old "PETRI" flash bracket with a ball head mount. The flash is diffused by a diffuser I made out of a Goldfish box, duct tape, paper towel, and clear plastic.
The body in this photo is mounted to a camera bellows, and a vintage Pentax Takumar bayonet mount 28mm f/2.8 prime lens is reversed on an old off-brand 2x teleconverter is mounted to the bellows. (The setup as shown is what I would use if I was planning on taking a picture of just the eyes of a jumping spider.)
The majority of the time I just use the 28mm mounted to the teleconverter with no bellows.
Occasionally, I will use an old SMC Pentax f/1.7 50mm prime reversed on the bellows or a 3x teleconverter in there somewhere.
my brother got a tour of the highline for work yesterday. kickass brother that he is and knowing what i like, he took this and several other shots for me. :)
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.
Milky way above Yosemite valley as seen from Glacier Point - Yosemite National Park. Ever since the Lassen peak shot (link in comments), I am intrigued by pictures of milky way. I have never shot the full milky way bow before. I have seen several pictures on various forums including flickr. Here is my first crack at it.
I choose to go to Glacier Point as it is far from light pollution and is at a decent elevation. I could pretty much get out of the car and walk to the point. No hikes alone at night remember? I drove 5 hours to get here and setup my gear to shoot away. Once my eyes got adjusted to dark, I couldn't believe what I got myself into.
Pictures are very deceptive, like this one. They don't convey the scale. It was a clear night and I could see the milky way with my naked eye. No need to pull out my smart phone. From head to tail, it was humongous. The shot you are looking at spans almost 180 degs left to right and abt 100 degs top to bottom.
I was not prepared for a panorama (well mentally). I came to shoot a beautiful time lapse of the full milky way bow. SMH. I started taking pictures patiently section by section not knowing how the result would be. So, here it is. A 15 shot panorama. This picture is adjusted for contrast, sharpness, saturation etc but otherwise out of the box and stitched together using MS Photo Synth.
You can order prints on 500px.

just returned from a 2 week trip shooting in Nepal and Thailand. Here is a set-up shot from the last day of beach shooting with Liv.

This is a picture of the lighting setup that I used today to photograph hummingbirds at my sister and brother-in-law's house. The light stand at the back is to put light on the sky colored background that my wife painted for this purpose. The other 4 light stands have a total of 5 strobes all pointed at the right side of the red hummingbird feeder. I put tape over the holes on the left side of the feeder so that the birds would only feed from the holes on the right side. Down below in the first comment you can see one of the pictures I took using this setup.
Some people find these setup shots helpful so I've created an album with some of them. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/albums/72157642517882554

I've been wanting to shoot this location for a long time now. I have never ventured over to Crab Park during sunset and I finally had a chance on a beautiful warm spring evening after a lot of horrible rainy weather.
I spent an hour wandering around the park before the sun went down. The view from the pier was probably the best place to get all of the city buildings in the frame so I setup there and waited as the sun vanished.
There wasn't much color or cloud cover but it made for a wonderful blue hour. At last all the lights came on in the buildings and I captured this shot.
This is a setup from a Shoot I had the other night. AB800 Boomed Dished/Socked, ABR800/30"MU below. SB28DX's back left/right. SB600 w/ homemade black straw grid at background. Fired with V2s / built in AB optical slaves. Actual shots from this set to come.
Setup for This Shot

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 ?
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.
Outdoor Concert Setup Kellie Pickler concert,road crew setting up for an evening show, I happened to stumble on it while to shoot a sign, found in North Carolina.
Here's my (probably only) Nnovvember contribution this year. It was a bunch of fun and I hope you all like it!
I got through shooting and editing about halfway before realizing I completely forgot the pilot! I'm such a dummy. I don't have the time to reshoot (particularly because I took these outside), so I'd like to take some new ones in the future with a pilot and perhaps a better setup.
