My setup for my yarn/knitting shot. I should really make a good light box for this kind of stuff.

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.

Press "L" to see it against a black background

I was inspired by a post that one of my favorite photographers Michael Zelbel posted regarding high key lighting (link to article). The effect I wanted didn't quite come across which was much softer white light. I was working in a big room so I wasn't able to contain the light. I'll have to work on this one :]

Setup for portrait of Disa. Ambient is contributing pretty much nothing to the exposure.

Now that I have an umbrella I can steal Hobby's full setup. Today I also had access to a third flash, so I added a rim/chin light too. It was a bit too hot and probably should've been placed more behind subject as well.

Here is the setup for the product shots i was messing around with. I made this box out of a cardboard box and tissue paper. I put aluminum foil on the room and white paper on the ends. I then shot 2 430EXii on either side to create a very nice lighting look.

Occupying what was originally a C19th warehouse, offices of Paul McAneary Architects.

This project is the result of recession economics – as young architects, survival required creative thinking beyond the drawing board – applying business to architecture – by looking at every angle, this project was conceived. PMA had outgrown its first office but were forced out due to the landlord raising the rent by 50 per cent. Paul negotiated a substantial rent free period with a new landlord in lieu of substantial transformation of his dilapidated listed warehouse building. Economically, traditional procurement would not have been feasible for PMA. The creative solution, from both design and economic perspectives was for this young architects practice to setup a design and build company – which has since went on to build 2 further small projects. On top of this the procurement of construction materials was a further economic issue. As architects we wanted the highest spec for our office but were economically challenged. Recycling was employed on a massive scale. Off cuts of reconstituted stone became the kitchen and bathroom tops. The 3.2m high glass facade of the office was even recycled from another project – making the project feasible. It has to be said that over the 2 years we have spent slowly building the office – we have probably learned more from our experiments than through any previous education by experimental building our own office. Two days after the completion of our new basement we suffered a massive flood from the building above us. The office was 200mm deep in water – we lost much research – but this was actually an opportunity for us to redesign some of the destroyed built details that we had thought of better solutions since completion – the greatest test of all. Indeed the experiments have become very important to us as a practice and they continue – as we have built, what we call our 'laboratory' – a workshop in our new basement where we constantly run tests, make mockups and explore detail before construction as well as make architectural models. A sky light has been introduced into the ground floor ceiling to the rear of the office, bringing light to the full extent of the plan. It is placed above a design room, directly above a glass box down into the basement level laboratory. This connects all the levels of the project, and providing a second shaft for architectural models to be dramatically raised through. To make the basement level functional, it was imperative to increase the height of the room and bring natural light. PMA used a special fibre reinforced concrete floor, that could be cast as a tiny 70mm thick slab – that avoided underpinning costs. The open space is designed for exhibitions and presentations, with clean light walls and completely adaptable lightng – 4 light wells and a structural glass and structural metal mesh floor will bring the maximum amount of natural light possible down, whilst connecting the two areas of the office. The ground floor facade has been developed following secure by design consultations with the Police as the passageway outside the office suffered drug dealing, prostitution, and urination due to its location on a dark back alley in London's West End. The facade is made from solid oak beams that respect its neighbours, finished entirely flush, removing many nooks that facilitated crime and the glass being full height, gives a sense of overlooking that has reduced crime level significantly. The light natural coloured facade that has oak and unpainted render has not suffered typical graffiti (it would appear graffiti artists respect the integrity of natural elements). The results of the facade, that has been installed for a few months now, is that it has changed the atmosphere of this medieval narrow pedestrian passage way and countless passers have made the effort to come and tell us of their delight and how they feel safer whilst applauding the design.

Specification: 1.5 GHz Core Solo, 1024 MB RAM, 60 GB HD and Superdrive.

Description: My Mac mini arrived prior the weekend so I got some time to play around with it before putting anything useful on it. So I installed Windows XP. I had some trouble making the XP boot stream CD, since I don't have access to Windows equipped PC with required software for the process. The driver support was also difficult. Without tutorials and tips in the forums at onmac.net this wouldn't been worth the time and effort, so kudos to them. Regarding WOW it runs times better in Windows still. The Mac port is probably just not optimized for this kind of video hardware yet. Haven't decided if I keep the Windows partition in the future since I run out of space quickly with only 60 GB.

What a magic little box I have here. <3
