Photo setup used for my latest builds.
Background: "Tupplur" roller blind from Ikea, put up on an old drying rack.
Lighting: Flash bounced off the white roof.
The gray card is used to calibrate the white balance and was removed before the final pics.
Setup from a shoot I did awhile back.

These young photographers were in an quite lengthy discussion on how to setup their shot :)
Taken in Chinatown, near Buddha Tooth Relic Temple
As visually complicated as the ABANDONED CADILLAC photo might appear, it really was a fairly simple setup, right on my kitchen table.
[ here's the finished photo:]

I've had that bridge model for some time and wanted to use it in a different way.
After I placed it on the "road surface" the whole scene fell into place because the piers of the structure seemed to make a stronger statement than the iron works.
After that decision, It was a just a question of what era to represent.
When lighting the set, it was immediately clear that a dramatic over head source was the way to go. The pattern of the girders falling on the automobiles defined the story.
An interesting aspect of that lighting was it created an odd flattening of the background; there was no sense depth, even though the backdrop was over 3 feet away.
I figured for today, rather than writing all the detailed strobist info in a giant paragraph, instead I would just illustrate the entire setup.
camera info: Nikon D700 | 50mm(Æ’/1.4G) | Æ’/1.4 | ISO 200 | 1/125s
This is my recent setup optimized for doing my research. I mainly use OS X, but I also run Windows for embedded system programming and Linux for running Simics VM. All of them are virtualized within VMWare Fusion.
In the photo, there are four screens but are actually only two Macs on the 72-inch wide desk. I found this setting to be useful because it's portable and the load can be balanced between the two. There are several other computers in my room for server and simulation purposes.
All the computers are synchronized using Unison, and controlled by a single set of keyboard and mouse using Synergy. I modified the source code of Synergy so that it supports Magic Mouse perfectly (the original version uses some deprecated APIs which doesn't support pixel-based scrolling).
Thanks to the GoodReader application on iPad, I can read all the books and papers even when I'm on the go. I need to hide the annoying iPad's white USB cable, but the iPad's power issue makes the problem a bit difficult to solve.
Microscope lens setup. Effectively extension tubes and a extension tube to RMS cone adapter giving approx 160mm from focal plane to objective. A USB mini LED lamp fed from a rechargeable battery block (that goes in my pocket). The disc near then of the cone is actually a twin flash mount.
Parts. Sony A6000, Sony to EOS lens adapter, EOS to M42 adapter, M42 extension tubes, M42 to RMS cone, 4X 160mm microscope lens.
I already had these but obviously the adapters depend on the camera body in use but you need to get to M42 for the RMS adapter. The most common RMS adapter is a flat disc, if you use this you will need to use more M42 extension tubes.

It's not as dark outside as it looks..its about 5:30PM
setup for previous pic.
May have return my new Elinchrom D Lite 2 on the right, can't keep up with RX600 strobe. Added Quadra in foreground b/c her false eyelashes were so big and blocking light from above!
Copernicus Crater photographed on June 14, 2016. Right image was using my Canon 6D + Meade LX90 12" + Televue Powermate 5x. Left image using the same setup with the addition of the 5x digital zoom offered in the software package Backyard EOS. Each was the best 5% of 4000 frames.
