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.
Since soon I won't be able to take photos outside I've been devising a new setup!
Y/N?
Basic fig. I like the way the photos are coming out cept I need to get a different lamp for the right side of the setup. The one I'm using gives it a funky tinge...
Setup for Strobist Lighting 102: Assignment - Cooking Light. This is minus a white card held above the jug and slightly to the right of the camera sloping down fron eft to right looking from the camera. The aim was to get a reflection in the cooker hob.
Setup shot for specular umbrella portrait. Snooted backlight is in this image although my final image did not include this light.

Setup shot for Psycho Circuits shoot, showing a wide shot with both ambient and flash mixed in. Compare to the Flash only shot to see the effects of blending in the ambient.

Strobist info: Single light setup, using a 20W CFL daylight bulb in a 12"x12" DIY softbox (that's quickly falling apart at the top - duct tape doesn't like heat). Car is centered under the light for this shot.
White A4 paper folded in half are pushed back far enough they only highlight the grill and tail but not the side of the car.
I wanted to bring up the rims and tires a bit without impacting the body. I started with tiny tents of white paper, but they had to be in the shot to get the brightness I wanted. I switched to chrome paper (found at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, etc.) tents, and rounded one side to keep the light just on the tires.
Black mirror is sitting on a 12" dia. concrete tube from Home Depot, which in turn is sitting on my shooting table (the tube comes in handy when the ole back is hurting).
For this shot, which was the first one, I removed the reflectors and had just the softbox. I attached a foam board gobo to it to block all but about 2" of light along the "bottom" edge (the side closest to the camera).
Setup shot for Apples using The Lunch Box.
SB800 behind and slightly above the apples. Two reflector cards in front. Fired via Nikon CLS.

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.

A shot of my setup used in this shot
I use a soft box I built myself that has 3 individual lights which can be toggled on/off for level of brightness I want. Everything else in my setup as an active light source are cheap clamp style lights..
For bulbs I use the GE fluorescents that have a temp of 6500 k. They are cool and equal to 100w tungsten. I like having the clamps and being able to drape scrims over them to create essentially second and third soft boxes.
Finally I do use mirrors, foam core, flash cards, etc. when needed.

DAY 71 Setup
Hooraaay! I have my first setup shot! lol!!
This was not really planned, I just wanted a wide shot to see how it throws the light. But then I thought hey this could be a setup shot. So here it is..
I won't do this a lot coz it takes too much time.
D300 1/400 f/2.8
This is the first shot i've done with my macro studio that i put together this weekend. one day i'll get around to doing some shots of what it actually is made with.
This was the setup shot for today's Photo a Day.
Feb. 7th 2011 - Star Wars figures Boba Fett & a Sandtrooper. **STROBIST SETUP SHOT**
I was bored, as usual, and just had to shoot something. I also wanted to get better with the Nikon CLS system, a change from my usual Strobist method of manual flash control. Wow, 150 shots later and I think I've got the hang of it. I must say...it's REALLY convenient and the TTL controls are very accurate! I'll be playing with the CLS system more in the future, for sure.
Being that it was a blizzard outside and night time, I chose my favorite subject - Star Wars collectibles! Also in the photo is my DVD boxed set of the original trilogy with bonus BTS DVD. I love the 3-D case of Darth Vader, and it made a nice addition.
I went retro with the processing because the Boba Fett figure is an older one (note the elbows/knees don't bend).
Strobist: D300s Commander Mode (no addition to the exposure), SB-600 CL @ 0EV, SB-600 CR @ -1EV, both through pieces of paper. A 43" umbrella or a 24" softbox just didn't seem necessary here lol
