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. :)
Use this to share your lighting setup or to document your setup for future reference. Email me at kevin@kertzdesign for comments and/or suggestions. Not for commercial use.
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.
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

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.
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 ?
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
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.
This is what the scene for Sitting on My Father's Shoulders looked like when the lights are turned on; it's nothing fancy, but it is effective.
Here is the finished shot:

You will notice there are some different models and buildings here, that didn't show up in the final shot. When doing table top scenes in my apartment, I am only a room away from where everything is stored, so I'm constantly adding and subtracting items, trying to get the appropriate "look".
Even though I've been creating scenes for some time now, I'm always amazed how chaotic and messy the setups appear.
Just what is that magic that happens in the camera?

Setup shot for this polaroid photo. Home Depot light and aluminum foil reflector. I only shoot with the high budget stuff!
I put together a widefield setup from scraps and spare bits laying around to run as a second imaging rig. My main setup is a 100mm refractor on an EQ mount. My favorite star party of the year Okie-Tex is coming up, the first week of October. I want to maximize my time under the Bortle-1 skies.
This is an old Nikon D7100 from 2013, full spectrum modified, a Rokinon 135mm prime lens, ZWO Eaf focuser, Sky-Watcher Evo-Guide and ZWO ASI 178mm guide cam. The Nikon D7100 has had long and tuff life. It's sensor is showing it's age, but it can get the job done with enough integration.
I like to use aluminum angle iron bolted to universal "bread plates". This way, I can mount accessories any way I need to.
I spent last Tuesday and Wednesday nights at CRO working the kinks out of this setup. After a few adjustments and swapping out guide cameras, it's working great. I tested it with APT, Backyard Nikon, PHD2 and Celestron PWI and Cartes du Ciel.
I was able to get some data on the Nebulae near Deneb. The North America Nebula and the Pelican Nebula.
Image data:
88), 5-minute, iso-200, f/3.2 at 135mm, stacked with calibration frames. 90% of best subs stacked. Nikon D7100 (full spectrum modified), guided, stacked with DSS, processed in Pixinsight and Adobe Photoshop.

The Lambda Class Shuttle is one of my favorite spaceship designs with its birdlike look. I like the elegant curves and the transformative wing mechanism, furthermore the landing gear setup with just two legs is exciting!
With the introduction of all the recent new parts I was able to create the round forms and fluent lines of the original studio model.
It is difficult to find exact reference material for this ship, most of the blueprints and imagery, which are available online, are not correct to the original studio models. I've ended up using my own photographs I've managed to take at the amazing Star Wars Identities exhibition.
The model is a scratch build MOC, there are some familiar elements to the LEGO UCS model as well as Dmac's www.flickr.com/photos/dmaclego original design. My main focus was an accurate cockpit design (it’s still not perfect but I like my solution), the inclusion of play features, a full interior completed with PF functions, lights and more.
The model features:
- motorized foldable wings
- boarding ramp
- retractable landing gear
- detailed cockpit and interior
- turning canons
- landing lights
- working sublight engine
It is bigger than the official set with 94 cm in width and 102 cm in hight (on the stand). I've used up to 6000 parts for the model including an PF medium motor and 7 PF lights.
For the scenes I've used secondary builds, the Death Star ll and a midscaled Star Destroyer based on Brickdoctors www.flickr.com/photos/legoarts/ design both of which are adding several hundred parts. For the Endor scene I've used around 10000 parts. Even the planets used for the space scenes are based on LEGO parts (Planet series: Endor and Tatooin for the red Planet).
I'm happy how my build came together, I hope you like it as well! Thanks.
