Now I'm reasonably happy with the amount of light I'm getting from these lamps, thanks to the reflectors. I wanted to try them with difussers to see if I could get a similar effect to flash.
Looks pretty good so far, though it does eat up a fair amount of light.
The lights are positioned behind screens of tracing paper to give a larger light source. I'm still getting hotspots on the subject, but dont think thats the fault of the lights, more the nature of the frosted glass object.
Attaching black cards to the wings of the reflactors with clothes pegs, prevents light from spilling onto the black backdrop, which is approx 12inches/300mm behind the subject.
There is a little light hitting the backdrop high up, but this is outside the area of reflection on the black acrylic base, so no problem.
Please ignore the lamp overhead, this was not in use for this shot, I just forgot to move it away.
Must admit, the little line of blue bits from my spring clamps lined up along the top of the backdrop made me smile here, they show up quite well :)
Oh the result from this can be seen below.

the updated setup... I've picked up a slightly larger beast to replace on of my 17 inch monitors
old version below:
Spent most of the day up in Norfolk, helping set up the camp I help on. A canvas roofed wooden building which is the kitchen and marquee were fetched out of storage and put up in preparation for the next few weeks activities. I was worn out by the time I made it home!
Setup Shot for 095/365 Sessions.

This is an angled shot of my setup in my room (basement).
* 24" TV
* AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (main)
* PIII 733Mhz (media server)
* Comcast Digital Cable box
* 21" Widescreen LCD (1080i HD)
* 19" Widescreen LCD
* Dell E1705 laptop
* Xbox
* Wii
* Component Switch
* 5.1 Digital Speaker system
* SB X-Fi Elite Pro module
* RCA DVD player (for TV)
The computer is S-video outed to the television as well. The Wii, Xbox, and cable box all plug into the component switch which outputs to my main LCD. My LCD setup is actually a Geforce 7800GT dualview; but while I watch TV I clone my desktop on both monitors.
As you can also see, the cable box outputs composite to the TV as well (not a bad picture either).
setup for this.
Check out the awesome behind-the-scenes video (in HD!) shot my by good friend, Chris Hannant, here.

Voorafgaand aan de Privacyrede kon een kleine groep mensen genieten van het DataDiner bij Fotodok. Tijdens dit diner lieten zij zich verrassen door een culinaire blik op het thema data & gedrag.
Third and final setup for this glass.
Not unusually, this looks more complicated than it is, so hopefully a brief description will make more sense of it.
Starting with the glass, I changed the way of holding it, thanks to a couple of suggestions from others. On the up slope side it is still retained by a rubber band, but on the downward side, the piece of card to stop it sliding down, has been replaced by a couple of pieces of Blu-tac (Sticky Tack is another similar product)
A couple of pieces of black card are stood up behind, just a little bigger than the area covered by the cameras lens.
To the sides are a pair of semi opaque plastic boxes (similar to Tuppaware) which are masked off except for a narrow strip to allow light through.
The lights are my usual 20W CFL lamps mounted in Pringles tube reflectors which are placed pretty close to the plastic boxes for maximum light.
With hindsight, I should probably have used another light on the white background at the rear, to get a bit of reflection on the rim of the glass. Live and learn ;-)
To my great regret this setup is completely disassembled. I have too many components needed for the new version. The new setup version 2012 is now in development. Schedule for April 2012.
The new version is again a 3D version, but now with a beamsplitter. The laser detection is reworked to keep the weight down. A compact design with a completely new electronics will improve overall performance. Especially the correct stereo base will be a great improvement in macro shots. The new laser detection is also improved by the use of extra frontside mirrors. This should lead to very high quality stereo images of fast moving closeup objects.

Here's my current setup for Lego photos.
- For lighting, I've got two umbrella lamps from this kit.
- For the backdrop, I'm currently just using a roll of some cheap craft paper.
- Holding the paper up has always been a challenge--I need to just get a backdrop stand at some point. For the moment, I just so happen to have a very large mirror lying against the wall that works perfectly for holding up the paper.
- I have a really nice camera (Canon 7D) and tripod (Manfrotto 055XPROB) because I also do a lot of seascape photography; I bought the umbrella lights specifically for photography though :).

ironically, did a studio shoot without any studio lights..
2 430EXIIs at 1/4th power to blow the background, 580EXII at 1/8th power into a softbox below and 580EXII at 1/4th power bounced off the ceiling on cam as master and main light..

Setup shot for 024/365 My Big Brother.
Strobist Info: Canon 430EXII camera left and about 6 feet high fired into shoot through umbrella about 2 feet away from subject, Canon 430EXII camera right and on back side of subject about 6 feet high and 9 feet rear of subject fired bare/no diffuser, Canon 430EXII behind subject shooting at black background, fired bare. . Flashes were triggered with Interfit Strobies.
The setup before I started sliming it. Green background. Rail and lab jack for targets.
The flash is my first Rev 1 version. Lower power. Power supply and flash head all in one unit.
Strobist: SB-800's on the left and right of the peppers, facing away and bounced off white foam core. Third SB-800 underneath the white Plexiglas. Two of the flashes on pocket wizards and the third one in "SU-4" mode. I saw this foam core idea somewhere on Flickr.
The setup shot for this photo.
Top left flash was gobo'd with a piece of non-slip mat that I had lying around, since my snoots seems to have run into hiding when my family visited me a while ago. Settings was 1/8th power @85mm zoom (at least in the final photo)
Bottom right flash had a 2cm black straw DIY gridspot, and was 1/8th power at 35mm zoom setting.
The D80 popup flash at 1/2 (or 1/4?) power was used to add some light for this setup photo.
Strobistinfo:
Left: LP120-1/16-28mm-inflatable softbox,
Back (towards camera) HVL-F58AM-1/32-105mm-cardboard gobo's
This is the setup shot for the bread shot I took a while ago. For a while I thought I had accidentally deleted this as the memory card was empty, but luckily I had imported this to computer, just not to the folder I normally use...
From this angle you can see a bit of the turquoise reflection I was able to get rid of in the final image. For the tip on how to see where the reflections are coming, check out my blog post, there's more about this setup and the process in general.
Here is my setup. I want to share with you :)
It's nothing exceptionnal, but it work pretty well.
Voici la mise en place pour ce shoot photo. C'est pas grand chose, mais ça a fait le travail.
My setup. Currently in the process of cleaning my desk, sorry about the mess. This is where I do my video editing and animation for clients and my own personal projects. And no, I don't spend all my time in here. I get out of the house often ;)

The "main ingredient" in the setup for Memorial Day 2010 was the curved shiny red paper, which reflected the light from above in such as way as to resemble a sunset.
Clas brought his DJ gear to set up for an after dinner party. This was when I found out I would get to DJ in Norway. Note that it is sitting on a real reindeer skin! DJ Animal for realz.
This was my setup for the Strobist bootcamp "water" challenge. I had to 're-set' it today because I had forgotten to take a picture of it yesterday, so it isn't perfectly like I had it, but close enough.
On the left: Light directed through a big white plastic washtub, to make a nice long highlight on the bottle. Paper on the left to reflect it.
On the right: Paper cutout behind bottle to reflect light through the bottle. Lint brush propping it up.
Hope this helps someone... :-)
