Setups dont come much simpler than this :)
The subject is sat on a glass shelf which is painted black on the underside to create a black mirror.
Under the shelf, a single 11watt spiral CFL lamp in a Pringles tube snoot which is lined with a sheet of white printer paper.
The open end of the snoot is just 2inches/50mm away from the green card backdrop, which in turn is about 6inches/150mm behind the subject.
Thats it, a nice simple shot which can be seen below.
From photoclub photo session. Small studio. Lots of gear & photographers = controlled chaos. Got some frames with somebody's leg or head in the picture :) Good times.
Setup for Acme IPA. A stunt double bottle is used here.
SB800 below, in the box, to light the label. SB800 behind and below with a beer bottle "gobo" to light and color the background. SB800 with snoot to the right and bounced off a white card behind the bottle. Fired with pocket wizards.
A back view setup shot is here.
Beer bottle gobo is here.
My one light setup for small product shots which has appeared several times before :)
A sweep of white cartridge paper (A3_ for the background.
A yongnuo YN460 flash set to 1/2 power and activated by a Blazzeo SLT-4 radio trigger.
A Pringles tube attached to act as a striplight reflector. This one is a little different to the one I normally use, which just has an opening covered in tracing paper to act as a diffuser.
This has a similar sized opening, but has the flaps from the opening retained and folded out to give additional reflection. This gives a harder light, for more of a shadow, which I felt suited this shot.
I see my Yongnuo SYD-0808 LED video light managed to sneak into the frame at the front left. This is used to aid focussing and to act as a work light. it is so much weaker than the flash, that is is left on at 1/2 power the whole time and has no effect on the image.
A familiar setup for subjects on a black glass/acrylic base, acrylic here as the amount of dust will indicate.
Main difference to my usual setup, is the addition of a white reflector above. This is a cheap white memo board which sometimes gets hung on the wall for scribbling notes on. Often described as a dry wipe board, which uses pens with water based inks that will just wipe off with a dry cloth.
This is just resting on top of a pair of tracing paper screens, through which the Neewer SF-01 mini slave flashes are fired. Both activated by Blazzeo SLT-4 radio triggers mounted on mini tripods. The flashes are shielded from the black backdrop which is approx 12inches/300mm behind by a couple of sheets of black card attached to the screens with clothes pegs.
Simple but effective :)
The finished image is shown below:

A quick picture of my setup, consisting of an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard (I enjoy typing on those keys), a Razer Pro Revolution mouse, and last but not least an 23" Apple Cinema Display.
and tangerines and grape juice ;)

Not recommended for those of a nervous disposition :)
All setup ready to add the flammable liquid to the spoon. For this I use cigarette lighter fluid, which is neat petroleum spirit and must be used with caution. One advantage of placing it in a metal spoon is that the flame is kept confined and only a couple of drops are needed.
Lighting of the spoon from below is done with a makeshift light table.
This is a cardboard box with a white interior which has a 20watt stick type CFL lamp in it.
On top of the box a sheet of glass which is in turn covered with the white nylon front panel from a light tent, but any white material that lets light through will do, even a sheet of white paper.
As I wanted a red colour light, a vacuum formed tray from a pack of cakes was used and surrounded with black cards to block the white light from escaping.
Finally, a sheet of black fun foam is placed about 12inches/300mm behind for the background. Much better than any other material I have tried for absorbing light and doesnt reflect it like paper or card.

setup shot day 337.
One of the things I accomplished over the holiday break was to paint the "studio" aka the garage. I had an off white semi-gloss paint everywhere and it made light control a real pain. Now the walls are a neutral gray and I was able to push my seamless roll another 2 feet rearward which IMHO is huge. I have three strobes firing and the room is still nice and dark now :)
Setup for Eruption followed Ryan Taylor's excellent Water Figure Tutorial.
I forgot to shoot the setup at the time so I have recreated it.
Out of picture, my pc is running Multisine 1.74. Using the headphone output I have then connected my pc via the Mic input to an old stereo (at the the top of the picture) which is connected to the speaker.
The speaker was wrapped in clingfilm, and a small amount of a 50:50 cornflour (cornstarch)-water mix was placed on top.
Due to the small space, I could not get the legs of my Giottos MTL9361B tripod splayed wide enough to drop the camera in line with the top of the speaker. So I moved the centre column into the lateral position and hund the camera upside down off my Manfrotto 322RC2 ball head.
The lights on the landing and bedroom behind were turned off and at f/16 I ran a 5 second exposure. Using my wireless remote shutter I triggered the camera. During the 5 second exposure I activated a 0.2 sec pulse at a frequency of 120Hz on my pc and using a PT-04 wireless flash trigger in the other hand tried to time the flash to coincide with the sound. This took several attempts to time it right, and in actual fact the final Eruption shot is actually a blend in CS3 of two images in order to increase the drama.
The ghosting in Eruption is not an artefact of blending the two images, but due to some double triggering of the flashes when I pressed the remote trigger.
The pink/orange hues in the conflour-water mix of the final shot are, I think, attributable to the flashes bouncing off the bare plaster walls. This was not intended but presumably it would have helped to soften the light as specular highlights are not too much of a problem.
The final edit involved usual adjustments in LR3.6 to saturation, levels, sharpening etc together with burning in CS3 to darken the background which in the original shot I felt was distracting.

Home is where the MacBook is. This is my setup in my basement. Complete with ping pong table, flat files, and my cat. As seen on Shawn Blanc's Sweet Mac Setups
One light setup with a twist, no not of lemon :)
The Pringles tube contains an 11watt spiral CFL bulb and is lined with black paper. The bottle is full of water, which does help to diffuse the light.
Not the easiest setup to move around to alter the angle with all the weight in the bottle, but possible with care. Good thing it was a plastic bottle though, not sure I would want to try the same thing with a glass one.
Setup completo do-it-yourself: amplificador, caixa e pedal. Só faltou a guitarra e a pedaleira... Um dia eu chego lá :)
I used this setup for two versions of the same shot: one on a white background and one on a black background. All I changed was the background light.
Simple stuff really. It's just lighting on two separate planes again.
My setup home in March 2006. iMac G5 with 10.4, Remote desktop with G4 Cube, and a Dell Inspiron 9300 running Solaris
Setup for Ice God. View the actual Photo/
In this photo, a SB-800 on TTL mode trigged via a SC-28 TTL cable, modified with Rayflash provided the luminance for the 'ice-cold' ground surface. White balance 3250k.
On camera right was a SB-900 which was totally flattened by me at this point in time. It was used as the main light for the actual shot. 1/128 Power.
After the Tour de France last year we have the new Tour de Yorkshire this year. This one came right through Slaithwaite, Passing within a mile or so of our house twice. I’m a bit ambivalent about watching cycling at the roadside, It’s a bit different down in France, in the Pyrenees or on the Champs Elysees in beautiful sunshine, soaking the atmosphere up. As a cyclist and photographer I’d been getting asked for ages where I was going to watch and photograph the TdY, the truth is, I wasn’t that bothered about it and didn’t have a plan until the actual day.
Sunday dawned with horrendous weather, very heavy rain pounding the house roof at 7.00AM, the radar picture showed a mass of slow moving rain heading west. We were going walking after coffee at Crumbles in Marsden and we sat the worst of the rain out until 10.00, it was drizzle by now, still a full waterproofs walk though. Home for a change and back out for more coffee and toast at the Merrie England and we were well placed for Scapegoat Hill to watch the race. We drove through Slaithwaite at 12.00 and it was deserted with about twenty people outside The Little Bridge wine bar. Tory had an outside bar setup for the day. Where was everybody?
We parked over Round Ings Road on the top of Scapegoat Hill. The sun was coming out and the sky was breaking to blue, fantastic, and what a change from this morning. People were heading to the top of Crimble Clough in their thousands, it was reminiscent of Holme Moss at the TdF last year. There was a great atmosphere, lots of people we knew out to watch, quite a few asking why we weren’t at the Little Bridge, I get a bit pissed off with this belief that we live in the wine bar, I have two drinks, three or four times a week in the Little Bridge – in the evening – and we are usually home by 9.00. I don’t set foot in a pub during the day, I prefer cafes for coffee and toast. At the wedding we went to someone asked why we weren’t in the Commercial – I never go in the Commercial, when I go out, I go out to eat, having a drink along the way is incidental to eating for me – get the message folks! It was looking like things were going to pan out perfectly. I wanted to get a spot up Waller Clough Road, the last bit of the climb out of Slaithwaite, with a clear view where I could get a slight side shot whilst the cars and bikes were still a distance away and not actually right next to me and have the cyclists lit from the front so they weren’t in deep shadow. It was going to be impossible on the higher slopes as it was packed and people were still arriving. I settled for the end of Highfield Road ( Moorside Edge) as it was quite wide. I didn’t think that the cyclists would pick much speed up here although it’s flattish just there, they would be getting a breather ready for the last bit of the climb. I got plenty of chance to check my gear and setting as the front running Police bikes came through at great speed, it’s very easy to get caught using a slightly slow shutter speed and not realise until after the event. The motorbikes were looking sharp. In the end I had around ten shots that missed focus and unusable, I’ve probably uploaded a couple of questionable ones. The cyclists came through together and there wasn’t any chance to pick individuals out, it was a case of firing away, making sure the focus was locked on to at least one cyclist.
When the race had passed it was a mass exodus. I had to get Jayne to Meltham for a wedding at 3.00PM so we didn’t linger. When we walked into Slaithwaite around 5.30 it was packed around every pub, the wine bar was surrounded by people singing and dancing, fortunately it was OK inside. Not a bad day. No mention of our area in the news and nothing shown on TV, they only showed the later part of the day. As I explained to people, it’s not football, cycling struggles to get TV coverage and it’s free to watch at the roadside, they don’t understand that there isn’t any money in it, it relies on sponsorship and in some cases – like football – wealthy individuals who want to own a team.
