I have received a ton of responses to the Photo Shoot Setup.

I enjoy giving away trade secrets, so here is that exact same setup, but it's at camera level. You can see how the trees, which are about a block away, are in the proper perspective to the model.
As for myself being in the shot, it has nothing to do with vanity. Really.
I do look like the prototype for the Abominable Snowman from the Rudolf the Reindeer Christmas special.
Sometimes nature looks like something has been set up.
I say mother nature is the best architecture.
We are all just props in her big setup :)
When you put each letter behind itself, facing yhe “mirror” you get a reflection that works/ much of the time and particularly if the letters are symmetrical along a vertical line at the center. If I had tried MACRO, the C and the R would have appeared backward
It took a while to get that swamp woman shot right. The four smaller pics are all early shots that I wasn't satisfied with. The bright background makes the swamp seem shallow, like a stage set. A cool effect but not what I wanted here (would be cool for other pics tho). Adding the walled backdrop of her enclosure really helped (seems so obvious in hindsight). Also I wanted to frame the figure more so I used some black slopes and plates (arrows in top pciture) to gently funnel the eye toward the figure with lines. Then two small LED lights to catch some highlights.
Even with the final setup, it still takes many photos to get everything right; some foreground plants but not too many, no gaps in the backdrop, etc.
It's hard to see but there's a viewing window in the back there. I tried to get two SCP Foundation staff staring at the creature but getting their faces in the shot was a headache so I gave up on that.
Many people asked me about my setup. I hope the picture helps

thx @all for commenting and favorites my pictures :-)
Photo from BrickSlopes 2021. This was created by Nephi Wolf.
A side comment here.
I didn't get to see this in it's finished state, which is really too bad because it was massive and magnificent at this stage. Estimated size: 15 baseplates long x 5 baseplates wide.

I stood next to the window for several minutes trying to determine the height and angle at which the light would reveal the hexagons without being visually overwhelmed by the circular patterns on the crowns of the bolts. It took long enough that I worried the sunlight would completely change before I figured it out.
But I did, and then it took me another few minutes to figure out how I could get this relatively heavy object to hold still at just exactly the angle and position I needed it. I envisioned needlessly-complicated structures (requiring various equipment that I don't have) before I hit upon the idea of an open book.
This is my view of the diorama right before I start shooting. I'm either kneeling or sitting on the ground, so I can preview how the scene will look.
Along with moving the models and accessories around, I can swivel the base to get best view in relationship with the background.
If you cover up the bottom half of this photo with your hand, the magic takes place and scene comes into focus.
I'm amazed every time it happens. Really, how is this possible?
This is the setup for the smoking shots with 2 SB-26 with snoots (so the light won't enter the lens) and PW, as close as possible to the incense stick, an incense stick and a plate under it so it won't burn anything, in case it falls for some reason, tripod for the camera and a black background (bought at a nearby store for 1,00 Euro), tuns the lights off and keep shooting until the incense burns out, repeat procedure until you can't stand no more the smell of the incense :)
Keep the room a little ventilate so it would not have too much smoke or else you do not get much detail and you do not fall over with the smell :)
When you photograph this Smokey things they'll turn out kind of a blueish smoke on black background sometimes could be boring and dull after 300 shots of the same thing... but then,
on Photoshop, you invert or not the image and use the Hue/Saturation to create colors of the image, also could use lasso tool on certain parts to give different colors to the smoke.
Give wings to your imagination on this...
Any help give me a line.
Enjoy !!!

Take a look at the full article on the Lighting Mods blog page.
This Pictures features in the new movie from the International award producer Dean Omori take a look at the movie here.
A ton of setup went into this one. I was crawling around in the dirt forever tryign to get the right angle and keep the north star in a position where it appeared the wheel's axis was lined up.
It sort of turned out weird.....it looks like the wheel shot a giant ray gun into the air and the trails are the ray gun impacing the sky.....or not
Foreground and wheel light painted with a mini-mag light.
I uploaded the original version to compare a heavier desaturated version that is uploaded after this shot. This was taken during the August full moon during a 4 day night photography workshop. Permits were included for shooting the ghost town of Bodie at night.
Set up on this shot included a ton of lying in the dirt on the side of my face to line it all up....lol I looked like two face when I got up....
EXIF:
23 frames @ 4 mins each stacked in startrails.exe
Total exposure: 92 minutes or 5520 seconds (whichever sounds more impressive...)
ISO 200
f/5.6
Canon 40d
Sigma 10-20 @ 10mm
I think that this setup explains itself. Enjoy if you want to try it yourself!
STROBIST INFO:
1x Canon 540EZ flashunit was used at 1/2 power, added with a Stripbox and placed behind angled translucent reflector.
Flash was fired by Cactus V6 transceiver.
The LED flashlight clamped on a lightstand on the left, was used as modeling light for focusing the camera.
"I'm" kicking back while I'm setting up for a shot. Never a fun time for "me" or Jem.
This will give you a clue what's hopefully coming in a few days. It's been a time searching for a new location to shoot in, choosing lighting, making sure shadows are working and fingers aren't poking through handbags -- all the usual of good Second Life photography. And then posing, and coordinating the poses with Jemmy. We don't have nearly enough to choose 4-8 for a good photo spread in the blog, but we're trying every possibility.

Well, I didn't manage to show my christmas photos in time (might upload them later nonetheless), but I'd like to share a part of my winter setup.
You might recognize the table from the "Bonjour Paris" shooting. The cute little grey houses were flower pot decorations, as was the deer shaped wall decoration. The black lantern was one of my christmas crafts, I followed a youtube video which helped a lot, though it was really strange to work with cardstock and not wood.
The wall is new as well, I wanted to get something icy blue, but my first attempt was too bright and not they way I wanted it to be.
So, next try and I went with "taubenblau", which means "blue as a dove". It's a gorgeous blue with lots of grey in it, it's unusual warm...
Mk2 10X microscope lens camera setup.
Using EOS to M42 adapter £5, set of M42 extension tubes £10. M42 to RMS cone £20 and a cheapish Olympus 10X plan lens £28. All new either from Ebay or Amazon.
The narrow end makes it easier to rest the lens on my hand and get a reasonable angle on a potential subject on a surface
