Strobist setup shot. SB800 below table to light the background, second SB800 to the right bounced off ceiling, gobo above bottle to prevent reflection (specular highlight) on the bottle. Fired using pocket wizards. I used some post processing to lighten the label. Photo is here.
I received yesterday my first wireless flash trigger and umbrellas. This picture is one of my very first strobist shoots. A very simple light setup : one strobe and one umbrella.
Backlighting setup to give a restricted area of light behind a pair of see thru subjects.
Lighting is provided by a pair of 20watt stick type CFL lamps in pringles tube reflectors, to concentrate and direct the light onto a white card backdrop, approx 12 inches/300mm behind the subject.
In addition, a couple of pieces of black card folded into a V shape are stood between the lights and the bottle to prevent any direct light hitting it. With hindsight, these cards would have been better a little further back. Must remember that next time :)

Hastily put together setup for a quick snapshot, using a point and shoot camera, so most of the control here was done with the lights.
A pair of 20watt stick type CFL lamps in Pringles tube reflectors, were used to light both the subject and the backdrop.
Placed between the lights and the subject are a pair of diffusion screens of tracing paper. The lights are angled in such a way as to fall on the background also.
The subject is placed on a glass shelf which has the underside painted black to create a black mirror.
The background a a sheet of white card placed approx 12inches/300mm behind the subject and is large enough to fill the reflected area on the glass.
I possibly should have used glass painted white, but I'm not sure where it is and I was feeling too lazy to try and find it ;-)
I am a learner, I know nothing about lights, I just started learning by myself.
This is something I learned from the net, to have the light bounce back from the white background :) The flash is an old Sunpak flash, I used paper towel as a diffuser on it. The shotglass is on a white board with a nicely cleaned glass sheet. The vodka bottle was empty, I put some ice cold water in it and started to pour it. I used a wired remote to fire my camera.
The bucket is there to pour the water into it when the shotglass is full :)

Setup completo do-it-yourself: amplificador, caixa e pedal. Só faltou a guitarra e a pedaleira... Um dia eu chego lá :)
Setup shot for the Cover Shot of Justin Rose. Note the lack of ballast weight on the softbox, as at this point in the day there was not a breath of wind.
Before anybody asks - the softbox is that far back to give Justin a fair chance of avoiding it when he smacks the ball straight at my face.

This is the setup for the following shots. I went and bought few metres of black material for a backdrop and wanted to try it out.

Setup consists of an LED flashlight, pinched together by a salt and pepper shaker and Rachel's hair scrunchie. Lens used is Canon's MP-E65 1-5x macro lens @ 5X magnification, on a RRS collar lens mount coupled to a RRS macro rail. Macro rail is held by a Markin Q-Ball head on a Manfrotto tripod.
Using Acra-swiss style dovetail mounting means that all load bearing surfaces are metal-on-metal contact. Considering how sensitive this setup is (deflection in the floor from our weight shifting will throw the shot out of focus) the common metal-rubber-metal coupling found on regular quick-release plates would make this a very filmsy setup.
Pocket projector is not bright enough so I did some PS jobs on the background to enhance the contrast. An LED on the right is also applied, also an extra LED holding on my hand is not shown in this picture. =)
I keep telling myself to bite the bullet and buy some professional lighting, but I get pretty decent results with my make-do studio.
Two $9 Ikea lamps and a couple floodlights, a sheet of white poster board, and a couple rocks to keep the poster board in place.
The floodlights I use are Compact Florescent Lights (CFL) rated at 23W. 5000k Cool White and 1050 lumens. They cost $8-$10 each at most any hardware store. The setup provides about the same as 150W of incandescent lights, but they are MUCH cooler.

I decided when i was up on mount Seymour, to take a photo of my setup for taking my M27 images. Yeah it's a bit out of focus!
A very simple setup for a light table.
At the base of it is a cardboard box, which has a white interior. Inside this is placed a pair of 20watt stick type CFL lamps. Ideal as they give off very little heat.
For the surface, I used a white plastic bag, inside of which a sheet of glass was placed. This enabled me to get the plastic bag stretched out nice and flat, before placing another sheet of glass on top to place the subject on.
As can be seen, the bag diffused and evened out the light really well, giving a nice white light source.
A couple of pieces of black card and a black background behind finished off the setup. These were to prevent stray light mainly, though they might also provide a bit a bit of contrast in the subject also. Difficult to tell for sure :)
Setup shot for the shot of Sam. Notes should explain everything.

Strobist info: upper photo SB26 1/16 power zoomed to 85mm, lower photo 1/4 power zoomed to 24mm. Position and modifiers used should be obvious :)
Setup for this
Setup shot for the DPS opener. The temptation to follow Wayne's advice, and hock a loogie on someone was huge, though I don't think Neil would have appreciated it!

New setup including my new iMac core duo (20"), my 12" PowerBook, Wacom Tablet etc... Oh, and my superb Jensen Speakers... Mmmm soundy goodness!
This is the setup shot fore the ricer: af360FGZ with a neutral density gel at 1/32 placed just inside the ricer, cookie dough scoop placed about 4" away on glass with white foamcore under it.
Here's a setup for the bright field lighting shots that I do, like light reading, which I did specifically for this setup explanation.
Before you read on I need to say that I'm no expert on this - this is solely an interpretation of how I think the bright field technique is performed - so it may not be 100% pure (I have only just started to read 'Light - Science and Magic'!).
In the case of the light reading I used a 50x50cm white sheet of 5mm plastic as the base and put it right on the edge of a table closest to the wall (the wall I used was white - if I was doing a narrow DoF shot then this would be fine itself but usually I use some plastic coated foam board from our local hobby emporium to act as a back drop). I also used a supplementary light to the left of the camera (not shown in diagram) to get the words right on the spine.
For other shots like weight and translucent I use a larger black sheet of plastic.
Note: that glass is probably a better long term solution as plastic tends to scratch easily. Addendum: if considering glass make sure that you can only see one reflection in it and not two like you can with a lot of glass when you look at it from an angle - the colour needs to be dense enough to stop light passing through it.
The light below the table can be anything you like as long as it is bright enough - a flash, a strip light (for even distribution of light across the full plane of the shot) or even a house lamp. I experiment with diffusers and gels on the light to get the effect I want.
addendum: if you publish a photo using this technique it would be great if you could put a link in the description pointing to this article (and also add me to the photo so I know you've used it), so that others can benefit from it too please - many thanks :)
I hope that this is useful.
Have fun!
