My little mac setup, just need a midi keyboard to finish it up. Wish I could go for a somewhat minimalistic look but those gay victorian wall frames kill it. -_-
Setup for the Pink orchid shot. For the final shot I've put a black glass below the orchid, the rest did not change.

Alright so a year ago I had tried to make a DIY grooming arm to hold the dog steady on the grooming table using a telescopic window cleaning rod...that never got finalized (like many of my DIY projects)... I wanted to test out using my two impact light stands as a cheap background support. Turns out it works great a few ball bungees to tie the top rod to the stands but leaves me without any light stands... Being a drummer I have quite a few cymbal stands in the basement so decided to see if the extra studs from the impact stand would screw on my cymbal stands.. Turns out it does although a tight fit and can't screw it in all the way but still solid ! I never even though about those until I really needed them!

Roll over the notes for additional details.
4 SB's:
directly above, with a gridded softbox - this made the upper highlight, seen on the center seam of the shell
camera right with a straight softbox - this made the big obvious highlight in the middle of the shell
camera left, high, with a small softbox - this helped diffuse some of the shadows, and also made a nice gradient on the back wall (white) for the background
camera right, with a long snoot -
this back-lit the batter head (which is actually pretty beat-up), and really makes the head just pop
I'm not totally in love with the way the shadows fall on the foam core, but I think they're tolerable for now.
If i were to do it again, I might start with a big umbrella directly above, and then 2 soft boxed lights on either side to counter any hard shadows.
(not 100% sure about the power settings, as I did a lot of playing around)

-Flash was triggered with Interfit Strobies. Sun was triggered by the powers that be.
Forgive the lack of quality in this shot. The Kodak DC240 was actually a good camera when I bought it for my second eldest daughter a few years back. (Yeah, kids had a digital before I did!) Few dints, knocks, scrapes, flash not working, buttons missing from the back - but it still takes pictures. Rescued it from the bin after she threw it out!!!!!
Anyway, just to show the setup I used for the Lupin shot.

All on top of a £30 tripod. Simples.
Very hastily put together shot today, so nothing very different with the setup.
The subject placed on a sheet of glass painted black on the underside.
Black background approx 12inches/300mm behind.
A pair of 20W CFL lamps placed to the sides in modified Pringles tube reflectors.
Between the lights and subject, a pair of screens containing tracing paper to soften the light.
Finally a couple of black cards placed behind the lights, to prevent stray light from hitting the background.
Job done and click ;-)
OK, this is my setup... Poor you might think... Well makes me think a lot on what to do to try to keep up with the newbie strobist out there firing Vivitars, Nikons and Canon...
I´ll get there in a couple of months, hopefully.
This is setup for my product shot. Softbox with good old Broncolor Impact 41, triggered via sync cable, and SB-800 1/1 in SU-4 mode to burn background.

This is a setup shot I took while making the other images from this set. There are notes on the image.
This is the complete setup. It is a C8 with a 0.63X reducer, so effective focal length is ~ 1310 mm F/6.3. Canon T4i, heated dew shield. All of this on a Vixen SXD mount that had its servo motors replaced with Vexta NEMA11 steppers with an 18:1 gear head. The electronics were replaced with STM32 OnStep.
For more on OnStep STM32 go here
Equipment/setup:
White paper taped onto table with outline drawn around the recording area (the white paper helps the webcam with the brightness of the screen on tablets and smartphones)
Articulating arm for webcam mount is the Manfrotto 244 Variable Friction Magic Arm with Camera Bracket
It's secured with a Super Clamp
(articulating arm and super clamp both available through B&H photo)
Logitech 1080p Webcam Pro C910 with a 3/8" hole drilled through the clip
Mac with iChat, iGlasses, Silverback App
iGlasses (software) so that the video preview window can be rotated and mirrored.
Make sure iChat is set to operate in 32bit before opening (finder, info fo iChat and select 32bit) -- otherwise iGlasses won't be available
Open iChat Video Preview window, choose Preferences, select external Logitech webcam, to view the output from the Webcam onscreen (logout of iChat)
Use iGlasses, in iChat, to mirror and rotate the video image in iChat video preview
VGA cable from Mac into TV in observation room (other side of mirror) so observers can see the iPad (via the iChat Video Preview Window) -- requires, of course, appropriate converter for Mac
External 1TB USB hard drive for Silverback Recordings (because this type of video recording creates 20-40gb files per 1hour of video)
Silverback App on the Mac for recording picture in picture (Macbook is turned towards participant to use the built-in isight camera to grab video of participant) -- be sure to tell Silverback to record on the external drive.
The Mac is propped up on on a Fold N Flip Portable Laptop stand
