For Alex. Triggered with Cactus v4
This setup produces fairly even light across the area that I typically shoot in. I have plenty power to shoot at 125s. / f4 / ISO 400. If things get blown out I just drop my aperture to 5.6.
Lighting info: 4 light setup, 2x portalite softbox left and right in the back (Ranger RX), 1x gridded spot on background (Quadra), gridded stripbox above camera.
Setup for glass shots taken on an LCD laptop screen using a polarizer on the lens. In this case the polarizer was rotated to see the image of the screen.
Setup for a recent boat dance. Due to power and electrical restrictions boat dance setups are slightly different than on land. Luckily I have enough experience with the power requirements on boats, and my equipment is efficient for what is does.
This is the setup that I used for my duckling time-lapse shots.
I mounted the camera (with 15mm fisheye lens on a heavy duty Giottos MH-3300 Pro Ball Head (just the head).
I tethered the camera to my laptop and used. EOS Utility software to control it. Software was set to fire the camera every 5 seconds.

We shot this after hours on the conference room table in the office where she works. I based this setup on one of the single-light setups Dean Collins does in his Basic Lighting DVD. If you haven't ordered the set yet I strongly recommend that you do - there's a TON of information there. David is 100% right, the guy is amazing! (Disclaimer: Neither I nor anyone I know is affiliated with Software Cinema in any way. Otherwise I wouldn't have had to pay for them.)
The strobe on the left is firing into ripstop nylon clamped to the ceiling grid to put diffused light on her face while raw light goes directly past to the background (a piece of fabric donated by my sister-in-law). A piece of white foamcore acts as a fill on the right. The strobe in the back on the right provides the hairlight. Note the cardboard gobo above the fill card to prevent lens flare from the hairlight. There's also a fan sitting on the chair directly in front of her. And the reason she's smiling is because she's sitting on a comfy moving blanket.
Lessons I learned from this shoot:
1. Buy more clamps.
2. Binder clips work in a jam if you weren't smart enough to bring enough clamps.
3. Rig up some kind of modeling light not only to help focus but to close her pupils down as well. I ended up turning the fluorescent lights back on and it still wasn't enough to get those baby blues poppin'.
4. Get a plexiglass mirror and some kind of light stand adapter for it for a hairlight.
Things I did right:
1. I remembered the moving blanket!
2. Did I mention I remembered the moving blanket? Oh.
540Ez through shoot-through umbrella close to ball, up and to camera right. sb25 with short (4") snoot directly behind ball. Triggered w/pocketwizard.
Here's an example of my photography notebook, and how a diagram might look. After I had finished taking photos towards the end of round 2, I went ahead to our next station to try and be proactive about getting the lighting information. Except I was a whole round too early. A different group had this station for round 3, we had it for round 4 at which time, the only lighting used was the softbox, I believe. I hope you can read my handwriting, I was writing in a hurry.
