I made little glass shelves for my display at a holiday store i participated in- picked everything up, and the glass shelves are still coming in handy...
The ol' living room studio - 2xVivitar 285HVs in shoot-thrus, on 1/16th power. The setup for this.
I set up in the living room to get the "Christmas lights bokeh" effect for the background, but wasn't really happy with that so switched to closeups of the cookies. Santa should have brought me a macro lens, I guess :-)
Setup for some of shots in this set. Yellow paper was running short. Content aware fill helped to extend the background :)
Another play with a really simple lighting setup and the subject doesnt get much more basic either :)
OK, it's not a great piece of art, but I great way to play around with lighting and get to know your way around your camera.
A single 20W CFL desklamp is used to illuminate both the background, which provides the reflected colour, plus a glancing light off the subject as well.
The cleanser is on an A4 size sheet of glass, which has the underside spray painted black to create a black mirror.
This is also small enough to allow it to be rotated easily to alter the shooting angle.
Either side are placed a couple of A4 sheets of black card folded in half to form a V shape, which makes them freestanding and easy to move around to alter the black reflections on the edges of the drops of cleanser.
Hopefully this will be useful to those starting to explore lighting and maybe even to some older hands.
Setup shot for PIerre Stealing Julie's Bike. The notes should explain everything, and the other angle is here.

Setup for this photo for Macro Mondays.
Here you can see the ad hoc tower of random stuff that makes for a shooting platform around here.
Ever wonder how the photographers isolate a person in the photo? Well, many of you probably already know...that we're pretty inventive and creative (photographers as general rule), but we tend to not like to work harder than we must...so...make it simple, black backdrop (or white).
Michael suggested I should use this one as a show and tell, of how the photos are typically setup. Of course the lights aren't necessarily evident here...and this was actually simply a hand held shot, with the off-camera flash to the left.
Nothing wildly exciting with the setup.
The tray from the box of chocolates is placed on a sheet of glass, which has the underside painted black.
The glass prevents the light shining in from the sides from showing on the surface, as what is being photographed is a reflection, so only the black background reflects toward the camera.
A pair of 20W CFL lamps, mounted in my Pringles tube reflectors are placed behind screens of coloured paper. Nothing special about the paper, just the same as used in photocopying.
Not much light here, so long exposures are called for.
Setup Image: one Sunpack 120j to camera right in softbox. One Alien Bee B800 to camera left.

These images are from a November 8th Session with Carol. Carol was looking for images to accompany a new Yoga business and needed images for web and brochures.
Her first idea was to have images of her in yoga positions on top of a rail engine (train), but after multiple contacts she was unable to get clearance from any rail yards in the state because of liability.
Instead we went with something much more simple and clean.
Sometimes is better to go with a simple idea than getting locked into your inital first idea - especially when it involves large steam engines and trying to get permission and dealing with companies. In this case, doing something more clean and simple will help her in the long run, and eventually she warmed to the idea. Its difficult giving up your first idea of inspiration, but sometimes it simply isn't within your means to produce.

I Got my friend to take a picture on my iphone for me. For some reason I decided to climb up this train ladder and look and see what shot i could create. I was using my 50mm 1.8 on manual and once i had it set, then I only needed one hand on the camera (Nikon D40x). Now i could lean out further from the train.
Well I like what turned out so I thought I would share it with you guys! Hope you all are having a merry Christmas!

newest setup.. my old Dell blew up, my shuttle now lives downstairs as a media centre, my current setup requires 3 monitor plugs, 2 computer plugs, 5 external hard-disk plugs, 2 hifi plugs, 1 xbox360 plug, 1 sub-woofer plug and various plugs for camera charging. mobile, PSP etc etc.. I hope a fire never starts
Old office setup. This is my setup before the arrival of the new shiny. Main reasons for upgrading were: -
a) PC needed an overhaul to get latest games to run. GFX were fine but CPU, MB and RAM needed upgrading and I wanted to add an SSD. Things is ... I hate Windows and never use the PC when I'm not gaming so spending all that money on a games machine would have been pointless.
b) ASW bought me a nice new 13" MacBook Pro recently so I was selling my own MacBook 13" Unibody and needed a personal Mac.
c) Emma has pretty much stopped using the PC because it was too much of a pain in the arse to have to swap the monitor channel (Dell 2410 touch buttons are pish) and go plug in the keyboard and mouse (which I often unhooked cos they were getting in my way). Also, I wanted a desktop machine that could be the hub for all media, documents, backups, iPod/Pad/Phone connections etc. that was easy for Emma to use.
Next up ... the shiny :)

The set up for this shot, sorry about it being fisheye, it was the only way I could fit it in.
The shoe is sat on a sheet of glass, which is over some white vinyl. Then ive got one strobe directly behind pointing up at the wall to blast that out. Then the other strobe poits strighat up. It took me some time to workout how to light the shoe it's self. I went through a lot of variations with my little softboexes, pointing down from directly above, or from each side. In the end I took off the softbox & pointed straight up to the white celling. Suddenly I had super soft shadows. I could have done with a 3rd light pointing at the front of the shoe to bring out the reflection a little more.
Photo Spec:-
Model:
Fallen Rivals
Strobist:
430ex behind the subject pointing straight up at the wall - 1/4 power, 430ex camera left pointing straight up at the celling 1/1.
Camera & Lens:
Apertur Æ’6.3, Shutter Speed 1/60, ISO 100 with a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Setup for the supermacro. An extention tube (homemade) of 500 mm is used + the AF60/2.8Dmicro lens. A ringlight (homemade) is used because the distance between object and lens is to small for other ringlights. enlarging to 39:1 are possible.
Setup shot for the Pat Ivey Portrait, notes should explain everything - I just wish the wall had been painted a bit better, although it kind of adds to the finished shot!

Details:
Vivitar 285HV in shoot through umbrella - camera right
Lumopro lp160 in 8"x12" softbox - camera left, behind subject
Shoplights with 23w CFL bulbs - camera left and right (rimlights)
The same very simple setup that I used yesterday, but with a second light, if you can call it that, sneaking into the frame :)
Main light is a 20W CFL desklamp which is lighting a green card backdrop.
In addition, just visable at the top, is a small LED flashlight directly above the lump of glass which is giving the blue highlights.
Guess it is worth mentioning, the white balance on the camera is set to tungsten, which is a close match to the CFL bulb used here.
The subject is placed on a clear glass shelf which is picking up the reflected colour from the backdrop.
The 2 sheets of black card which are folded in half to create a V shape are placed either side to add black reflections or should that be lowlights, in the subject.
The clear glass base might not have been a such a good idea and I might have another go using a black mirror base, we shall see.
