Setup for green tea by David S

Setup for this shot and this shot.

The idea was to position the strobe directly above the tea cup, with a reflector below it that would let through only a narrow beam of light. This beam of light would only hit the bottom of the cup, making the tea glow, while the light bounced off the first reflector would provide fill, lighting the scene from the side. Unfortunately I couldn't get the beam narrow enough, so it ended up lighting a small area around the cup also. Wish I'd had some black al-foil and more time...

Initial attempts were with the silver side of the big reflector, but this gave too harsh a shadow behind the cup, so I flipped it to the white side, increased the strobe power and stuck 3 stops worth of ND filter on the bottom of the hole in the cardboard. Although I'm now thinking that 2 stops would have been better, to keep the cup-light brighter than the fill light.

See image notes for details.

Zeiss Ikon Nettar 518/16 Strobist Setup by Benedict Singer

Setup picture for all the Zeiss Ikon Nettar 518/16 shots. The flash unit is a Canon 430EX on a Gorillapod, with a homemade snoot (an old toothpaste box). The folded piece of paper on the right provided just enough fill to get some detail on the shadow side of the camera, while not destroying the hard backlit look. I lay on the floor where the note indicates.

More pictures of and by the camera in this set.

No other lights used. I held the reflector on my lap to bounce some light back into my hold cards.

Geen ander licht gebruikt. Ik had de reflector op m'n schoot om wat licht in de kaarten in m'n hand te krijgen.

Setup for my first strobist submission by Alan Skinner

You can see the gobo'd SB-900 pointing down and the SB-600 pointed back towards the camera to light up the bottle. I actually had to gobo both sides of the SB-900 since that mirror at the very left was reflecting light back at me from an awkward angle.

A green bottle was chopped and wedged onto the lens. I used a plastic water bottle since it was big enough to fit over the lens and there was no way I was going to be able to slice glass. Plus the bottle had a particularly long neck which worked well for catching light.

That card-looking thing on top isn't any sort of bounce card or anything. It's just there to wedge the bottle into place since it was too big and kept wanting to fall off.

And no... I don't own a proper light stand. It's on my Christmas wish list. That silver tripod isn't even made for cameras. It's an $8 laser level tripod from Sears! I retired it in favor of the Manfrotto as quickly as i could. I'm not trusting all that equipment on that tripod. :-P

You don't need any fancy or expensive equipment to take some great looking photos of your Gunpla.

In this tutorial I'm going to show you how I take photos of my kits using a couple of cheap, widely available items.

This is my photo space, setup on a spare desk. The items I use to shoot my models are; white and black paper, a desk lamp, and a camera. I'm going to explain each element of the photo space.

Black Paper:

The black paper is my background, you want to use a neutral background when you're photographing your kits. Generally if you kit has a lot of bright colors like the Raiser here, you want to use a dark background. Conversely, if you have a dark kit you should use a light background, like a light grey or white.

White Paper:

I'm using the white paper to reflect light from the lamp back onto the model, it helps soften the shadows and provides a degree of back lighting with out needing a second light source.

Lamp:

Any lamp will do if you're willing to color balance your photos after the fact, using iphoto, or photoshop. If you can't or won't color balance try to get a 'natural light' bulb for you lamp.

Camera:

Any camera that takes decent photos from 10-15 inches away will work. For this tutorial all photos were taken using an iphone. Normally I use a DSRL.
