My little sand and sea shell terrarium was the most interesting thing to take macro shots of. Here's the setup - I angled my tripod over the terrarium a bit since the camera+lens+filter+torque weight on the tripod made it very easy to tip! (it didn't tip though) Shot in the kitchen under fluorscent lights. Gear: Canon XTi + Opteka Grip + 70-200L IS 2.8 + Marumi Macro Filter +5 + cheap $20 tripod.

Lighting setup diagram for this photo
OK. After taking a few landscape photos (you know those romantic pic with beautiful HK island), I suddenly had a new idea to have some fun.
I passed my spare 1D to johnny and asked him to be a photographer for Christina. In order to make it look real, I mounted a 550EX on it and it has to be triggered with other flashes.
I had 4 x EX550 in total and 3 pocket wizard, so one of the 550EX (on my 5D) act as a master to trigger the flash on 1D)
my assistant (Siu B) held another 550EX (on monopod) over the edge to provide some hair light to them in order to separate them from the background (the dark sky). Look at the photo, the hair light is not very good, I think I didn't set enough power, or Siu B didn't extend it far enough.
The setup I used for "Inspection". This is a higher angle than the shot I ended up using.
Note that the blue light filter is LEGO. www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=2409&colorID=14
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.

Setup shot for the cover image - as simple as it looks, notes should explain any technical queries.

The flash was held about a foot above the plexiglass. The white cardboard (black on its other side) and the thick fabric were restricting the beam to create a line of light that reflected on the toy. I just had to move the car until I got the effect I wanted. Shot over a plastic mirror.

This studio corner setup demonstrates that you can achieve good light with just one speedlight and a softbox. For this example, I used a compact Profoto A1X, which I acquired in used copy at an irresistible price, paired with a 2x3' softbox as the modifier. The result is a ultra portable setup with clean, versatile light that works well for a variety of scenarios.

Setup shot for the minimal portrait, though you can only see the corner of the big reflector, and can see more of it here. Notes should explain what little there is.
