Strobist setup for This series.
Profoto 2400c pack with one head and a 4' softbox. Using approximately 600 watts.
I don't have a battery for this setup, so I had two 100' extension cords plugged end-to-end running down the sidewalk to power it.
Those among you who follow my posting of Pluto Valve control blocks will soon realise this is again another setup and might also think that I am a weirdo to keep testing new arrangements of the necessary components. Unfortunately, that has been indeed true and the reason for changing has always been the lack of rigidity of the block carrying Pluto trigger and its valves due to the quality of the roller heads I used and of some of the remaining components. Also, I have been trying to minimise the size and number of total components used, while maintaining and also improving the block functionality, ease of operation, and its global stiffness. The current block is built around, in this last version, a camera rig I once used to operate a video serving GH4, but not anymore... There are still a number of areas where the current block can be further improved, but for the time being this is my most rigid and most accommodating configuration ever. I also ordered a Keiser RS1 (5510) system with an RA1 mount head as my currently use Falcon-eyes is not too rigid either.

Setup for the Women and Golf Cover shot, taken in southern Spain, just as the light was fading.
The notes should explain most of the technical stuff.
I spent all day, every day for a week shooting instruction stuff (about 17 features, some rules stuff, a load of exercise stuff and approx 13 covers) and towards the end of the day was usually the time when I could get a bit creative. Obviously the light at this time of day lends itself more to mucking about, and less to getting clean, boring technical shots. The only drawback is that sunset doesn't tend to last all that long, and on this shot in particular I did a lot of running around as the sun steadily dipped lower and lower.
I bought a couple of walkie-talkies last year, specifically for this sort of shot, and lo and behold they completely refused to work on this occasion. With a gorge about 150ft wide and no assistant, it was quite tricky communicating things like "take a stop out of the back light" via sign language!

Set up shots for the eighth of eight photographs in the kidnaped series:
SB900 mounted in the softbox to the side of the tree/subjects with an SB800 on the camera (in frame) set up as a slave to ensure it would be triggered at the same time as the shutter ensuring the light patch on the ground and catching the light coming from the camera.

Doing a commercial shoot for Rave Motion Pictures and Screenvision. Working with director Mike Tremble and Cinema Concepts from Atlanta, GA.
Those aren't my lights hah, just needed some good ambient light at 3am, so Triple Horse in Atlanta brought over some hot lights, massive scrims, and a generator that was the size of my 4Runner.
Shooting hours from 10pm until 7am- it was a long night, not to mention my full time jobs started at 9am.

Scorched Toast Setup
This is my entry for the DIYphotography.net's first assignment in the Bag 'O Goodies contest. I was definitely aiming for originality by shooting burnt toast. Recently I had seen some smoke photography that was quite beautiful and I wanted to give my take on that. When this assignment came up my desire to use smoke developed into the idea to burn some toast and then scorch it even further with a torch. The smoke was created using six sticks of incense. Sorry that the setup shots at the end have the open garage door but I was suffocating in there with all that acrid incense smoke in the air.
Post Processing Information:
Slight sharpening, slight increase in red, green and yellow saturation and cropping.
EXIF Data:
1/180" @ f/8 ISO 200
90mm focal length (120mm equivalent) though cropped a bit from that.
Strobist Information:
Key Light: LP120 @ 1/4, triggered optically, gelled 1/2 CTO, gridded, from high camera left skimming toast to show texture.
Fill Light: Pentax AF500 @ 1/2, triggered optically, bounced off ceiling from camera left.
Toaster Accent Light: Nikon SB-28 @ 1/4 with wide beam diffuser, triggered by PocketWizard Plus II, gelled red, from camera left aimed at white garage door.
Smoke Light: Vivitar 2800 @ 1/8, triggered optically, gelled green, snooted from behind and right of toaster.
Background Light (not used in final shot): Pentax AF540FGZ @ 1/8, triggered optically, bounced off DIY reflector's gold side, goboed to prevet flare
DIY Gear Information:
Coroplast Grid Spot
Cardboard Snoot
Cardboard Gobo
Double Sided Reflector
DIY Flash Clamp (on the floor tipped over being used to hold the reflector in this instance)
Oral Autofocus Shutter Release
Aluminum levers added to the light stand to make it easier to tighten or loosen the knobs with paralyzed hands while leaning over from a wheelchair.
The final shot can be seen here.
SETUP FOR THESE PICTURES:
Here is the light setup for my pictures of Ollie. Both umbrellas have Nikon SB-28s. You can just barely see the snooted and gridded Vivitar 285HV on the stand to the right of the backdrop. I attached the branch that Ollie is sitting on to the clamp for my reflector holder.
This is a setup shot for my image: Smoky Handstand:

Target shot photographed with my Nikon D600 and 105mm macro lens. Setup shot done with my Nikon D90 and Nikon 18-200mm lens.
It was a simpler lighting setup than my last attempt at a smoke shot. The key I learned is to maximize the contrast between smoke and background. So, use the standard black background (and base), and off-camera flash to add as much light as possible to the smoke, while keeping it from contaminating the background.
That last is the hardest part. I used my Rogue Flashbender to funnel the light away from both the lens and the background, but I didn't do so well with the latter. It's amazing how easily errant light can contaminate the photo.
Having only a single flash caused a lot of extra exposure on the left of the shot, which I adjusted for in Lightroom. A second flash to camera right, and setting both at 1/2 power, would have given me more exposure power at shooting time, and less work at edit time.
Moving the light closer to the smoke was the significant takeaway during this experiment.
Of the 83 exposures that I took, I got 9 shots that I really liked, both technically and artistically.
Target specs: Nikon D600, Nikon 105mm, f/18, ISO 100, 1/250 second, Nikon SB-700 flash in manual mode.
Setup specs: Nikon D90, Nikon 18-200mm, f/10, ISO 200, 1.6 seconds, ambient light.
kinda setup shot, though I changed it a bit after this. :/
im sure you all love setup shots.
those are 2 SB800's on giottos vt 806 tripods (cheap things, but works fine).
