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 :).
Hard steel setup.

Info: Lens center height 42.5 mm, important if you want to support the lens.
Unfortunately, the black "flag on the right fell down and then my XTI taking the setup shot ran out of batteries.

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... :-)
This is my desktop setup that is in the living room downstairs. I would show you my desk in my room, but it doesn't feel complete without a computer.
That's why I want a mac...
On the left we have the monitor. I'm not going to even bother with the specs because this stuff is so old. We have the factory default keyboard. I do have a wireless Microsoft keyboard that goes with the wireless mouse, but the wired one looks and feels a lot nicer. Then we have have my 8gb 2 generatio iPod Touch that is placed in my custom iPod Speaker that I made myself. We have my wireless mouse on a pretty basic mousepad and than we have 2 harmon/kardon speakers. Lastly we move over to the HP color printer.
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..

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.
Practicing some product photography.
Strobist info: Two sb-800s. Controlled by d300 in commander mode. Manual settings.

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.
two 430 EX II speedlights, one bounced off ceiling at zoomed to 105mm at 1/4 power, one shot through white paper, zoomed to 24mm at 1/8 power
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.
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.
Step 4: If arch, chuppa, or pergola is not as stable as it needs to be, secure joints by screwing the joints together.

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.
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 ;)
Our megamid setup on night 2 was very compfy; Brad and I slept in the Megamid while Robin and Kevin slept in his tent. We all cooked in the 'mid, which was very, very comfortable sitting along the bench on the left-hand side.
Addendum (November, 2008): After many more trips with the Megamid, this setup can be used with no bivy sacks or tarp floor for a very light system. The way we set it up is as follows:
First, make a flat area about 11 feet (a little bigger than each side of the 'mid) square, then dig down (cutting rough blocks w/ your shovel if possible) a couple feed in a ~9 foot square. Level the edges. Dig a trench down one wall (wherever you'll have the entrance); you can use this for a compfy cooking area later. Then, put the megamid down and use skis/poles/tree branches to secure the corners and midpoints. Go inside and set up your pole (we use two skiis with the skins still on facing heel-to-toe with two bike toe straps around them).
Adjust the length to get the tent secure, then put blocks back over the edges of the megamid to keep the wind out. Clean up the inside by digging it out as much as possible and potentially undermine the walls a little. You can sleep two on one side of the pole and one on the other.
We sleep in this with just thermarests on the ground and a winter bag (I use one rated to -14C). We pile our backpacks in the doorway, cook in a shelf in the outside wall opposite the trench which makes breakfast a lot easier, especially if it's stormy.
(Update Feb 2011): This gets a decent number of searches ending here; for a couple more modern shots of our megamid setup, look at these pics:

Feeling lazy, so a really simple setup today.
A sheet of black painted glass as the base with a black card background approx 12inches/300mm behind.
A pair of table lamps with 20watt stick type CFL bulbs. Pringles reflectors replacing the lampshades with sheets of tracing paper clipped on to diffuse the light and a couple of A4 sheets of black card to shield the background from the lights.
Simple but quite effective as I hope the shot below shows.

Strobist info:
5400HS-105mm-1/16-4.5cm straw grid
Remote in my lefthand, the strawberry in my righthand.
Second setup with this tilted glass.
The white card backdrop now has a sheet of blue Fun Foam placed in the centre, so only the edges of the white are illuminated. The white can just about be seen behind the lights, the area behind the glass is filled with the blue.
The lights are also changed. Well thats not strictly true, it's the same lights, a pair of 20W CFL lamps, but they are inserted into upright Pringles tube reflectors, which give a much larger area of light than the snoots used with the white background..
Also, a pair of black cards are placed on each side, to prevent direct light fom spilling onto the glass, it is all coming back from the background, which stops nasty reflections on the glass.
A rather strange setup of having the buoyancy bladder inside the drysuit. It is filled and emptied via the pull cord dump valve (cord seen going over his shoulder) which is situated between the shoulder blades. Bladder is filled from the valve on the side his chest, suit is filled from the valve on the other side of the chest and emptied from a standard dump valve on the shoulder.
If I was going to do this again, I think I would place the flash lower and direct the light up more. This would have given a cool shadow on the headboard/wall and ceiling. I also forgot my shutter speed at 1/90 sec because I was doing some stuff before (and I wanted some ambient light effect), however, the flash was very effective in freezing motion.

I have been researching flash triggers and had settled on Pocket Wizards when I saw an article on radiopoppers. Now I'm not sure what to buy. To make a long story longer, I rarely use my Nikon CLS system (because my DX80 strobe can't) and I tend to be a "manual" mode guy when it comes to using a flash -- I like my flash to do what I tell it to do. Anyway over at radiopopper they are talking about TTL and iTLL and all I hear is bla, bla, bla, so I figured I should do some research. Anyway, I found this great blog... Nikon CLS Practical Guide by Russell MacDonald. I started with "Nikon Flash - Two Separate Metering Systems". You might like to check it out.
