Test setup
MADAGASCAR SUNSET MOTH CHRYSIRIDIA RHIPHEUS
Stacking focus @ maginification 21x - 255 image
Gear: Mituyoto 20x + 164mm tube (FD Canon) 210 rodenstock f/9 + 5D3 Canon + Flash with diffuser DIY
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.
I’ve got three lightboxes - a really tiny one, a big one that needs four lights, and this, the “middle” and most-used one. It has four backdrops - black, white, blue and red, and two LED lights.
During a shoot I love creating a visual record of my setups & sharing them with you guys on my site. A couple of people have told me recently that they actually use my site as a reference for setting up shots while they are out on location. That's pretty humbling/awesome, thanks!

Strobist:
• 580ex II camera right on 1/4th power, through a Westcott Apollo strip.
• 600ex camera right on 1/4th power bounced off the ceiling.
Experimenting with a part digital, part practical background. It came out ok, there's some limitations with the size of the monitor (casting to a tv would be better but I'm yet to work that out. I can cast videos no problem but photos? Whoa that's a bit too advanced...)
There's a piece of shiny white cardboard used to bounce some light back onto the shadow areas (without that the shadows are very dark).
And the office building are just paper, they need to be made of cardboard as the paper warps too much. Plus ideally you want a rang of scales in the buildings so you have options for creating depth.
this is the setup for this shot...Niko wanted to get in on the shot, he turned 1, last Friday so he thinks he is all grown up now...hahahahaha
The cable guy came by today. I had him pose for this quick portrait.
Strobist: B800 Boomed & Dished Front and Above. ABR800 Front and Below w/ 30" Moon Unit. SB28DX on background and SB28DX's Super Clamped onto background supports back left and right.
For those of you asking about my frozen bubble setup, this is a video I compiled from my last photo session. The video is a bit jumpy because I took it from my phone on a selfie stick, sorry. It's interesting to see how fast the ice features form and the short life span of a frozen bubble.
Christmas was good for Swet. I wanted to do a quick shot to showcase the photog booty. Since the CyberSyncs are made by the same people as Alien Bees, I wanted to give it a little creepy alien feel. So I went with an abstract green background.
Strobist: One SB-600 bounced into white foamcore at 1/16 to left of CyberSyncs. A white v-card to right of subject for fill. Another SB-600 camera left, gelled green and shot through a plastic laundry basket at 1/4 for background. CyberSyncs are sitting on a piece of acrylic on top of a piece of black foamcore.

It's been a while since I've posted a setup photo, so I decided to post this one after RBCustoms and BrickThinker requested it. I set up the Wargs and orcs, and positioned construction paper below them for the reddish reflection of the fire. Then, I added the embers and glow effects in Photoshop, as well as a few minor color adjustments. The finished photo can be found here!
Hope you enjoyed this behind-the-scenes look! I hope to post more of these in the future!

Another workshop participant gets ready to shoot this setup at Carriage House.

Updated my work office setup. It was my two year anniversary so my boss got me a new computer . I used to have a 24" iMac with an external monitor and Dell Vostro 420 that I had connected to the iMac with Synergy. Now I run everything in virtual machines on the Mac Pro, it is much faster and more efficient than using separate machines.
What do I do? I develop web applications for use internally, manage my company's (not my, just work for them) ERP, and manage every piece of tech and software involved in all of our operations.
Dual 2.26 Quad Core Zeon Nehalem Mac Pro w/ 12GB RAM & 2.78TB Hard Drive Space
3 24" Dell G2410 Monitors (1920x1080 times 3)
Bose Companion 2 Speakers
Logitech Quickcam Pro
Not pictured: 15" Unibody Macbook Pro and Bose Quiet Comfort 3 headphones.
The monitors work very well for me, however I can tell the color is off and can't quite get it right so it wouldn't work for someone in print design or photography. For me though, they work great!!
Complete 4x5 setup:
- Tachihara 4x5
- 4x5 BTZS focusing cloth (very good)
- Fujinon CMW 125/5.6 (image circle 204 mm @ f/22)
- 2x FIdelity Elite film holders
- 3x NEW Toyo 4x5 film holders
- 6 filters
- Cokin P filter system + 121M filter
- cable release 2x
- Ilford FP4+ 4x5 FIlm unopened box of 25 sheets (Exp. 12/2014)
Setup for the splash shots:
- A little fish tank in the middle (I got that cheap from Amazon)
- two flashes on the right and left side, shooting through paper pieces as diffusors
- two flashes placed in my bathtub shooting from underneath through the translum foil
- translum foil formed as some sort of transparent seamless background under the tank
Three flashes from Yongnuo, one Canon 430, all four RF triggered via Yongnuo RF triggers.
Camera on tripod with cable remote, adjustments cmp. EXIF.
Btw.: No light barrier involved, obviously this also works manually with some patience. :-)
This is the setup for the "Into The Heart Of The Rose" image I posted earlier.
I put a Yongnuo RF-603N trigger on my D90 and a YN560-II that I pointed at the ceiling to create the setup shot. When I took this picture it triggered the flash in the softbox. Down below in comments you can see the picture that this setup created.
People seem to find these setup shots helpful, and I have an album of them if you'd like to check them out.
