Trip Jennings shoot for Canoe and Kayak Magazine.
(Linh, who was along for the shoot, grabbed a synched setup shot with my Canon P&S.)
This shows the general setup with sweep, lights and camera. We have additional lights to use under the sweep for bottom lighting. Even so, we could always use more lights, but this setup is pretty versatile. Next step is to mount some weights and wheels on the tripod to make it heavier and more moveable.
I thought I would reveal all of my “secrets” and show my setup for this photo. And yes, the camera lens got a little bit wet! I have limited energy, so I am all for making things as quick as easy as possible. I used an aluminum cookie sheet for the gray background, and placed a waterproof cobblestone base from Calico Critters on top of another cookie sheet that I used to span the sink. Grouchy did NOT enjoy this photo shoot! :-)

So I cheated a bit in photoshop with this one.
Because there was so much twine to remove in this shot I took a separate shot of the background on its own to help with the cloning.
Patience was required.

In a not-so-distant future, an ex-police drone turned bounty hunter/gun for hire scours a post-apocalyptic wasteland known as Earth in search of any job that may come his way.
Using his modified police-issue hardlight tool emitter with a claw blade, axe blade, and chain whip function, Reaper has become known across the wasteland as one of the most feared, and deadly individuals. He is certainly a force to be reckoned with.

Let me know what you guys think!
I'll hopefully have a white backdrop setup soon so I can take some clearer shots for you all to see the build of this and all of my other MOCs!
3x2 project.
That is, three targets for two astrophotographers (or self-styled so), myself and Alessandro Bucci.
Second target of the joint project, in fact the main subject, what pushed us to "join forces" for this project was the reflection nebula M78, in Orion. Beautiful subject, yet difficult if not taken from sufficiently dark skies, which requires a lot of care even in the processing phase. It took me about a week of attempts and "pauses for reflection" before reaching the result below, which seems to me quite satisfactory overall.
Unfortunately we were unable to dedicate the two entire evenings to shooting, due to the atmospheric problems I mentioned in the previous post, but 13 hours of shooting still proved to be enough to finally obtain a good photo on this target which I had never shot in optimal conditions.
Hope you like it as well!

Progetto 3x2.
Ovvero, tre target x due astrofotografi (o sedicenti tali), il sottoscritto ed Alessandro Bucci.
Secondo obiettivo del progetto congiunto, nonché il soggetto principale, quello che ci ha spinto ad "unire le forze" per questo progetto era la nebulosa a riflessione M78, nella costellazione di Orione. Soggetto bellissimo, quanto ostico se non ripreso da cieli sufficientemente bui, che richiede molte accortezze anche in fase di elaborazione. Ho impiegato circa una settimana tra tentativi e "pause di riflessione" prima di giungere al risultato qui sotto, che mi sembra abbastanza soddisfacente, nel complesso.
Purtroppo non siamo riusciti a dedicare le due intere serate alle riprese, per i problemi atmosferici di cui accennavo nel precedente post, ma 13 ore di riprese si sono rivelate comunque abbastanza per ottenere finalmente una buona foto su questo target che non avevo mai ripreso in condizioni degne.
Spero piaccia anche a voi!

The setup for the picture of the flowers. The only thing different is that the transmitting Pocket Wizard is on the camera taking this picture rather than the camera that took the final picture of the flowers.
You can see some setup shots for other images here.
This was one of the most interesting photos of February 17th, 2008.
Dear friends, after so many mail requests here´s the setup for "Gravity Drink"

A little behind the scenes shot from our shoot this week at K Studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Check the notes, as always!
Not quite the same setup, but a shot resulting from a modification of this setup is here.
This is my Palermo office desk setup (you can find more details about my office setup HERE). A Logitech V200 cordless mouse and M$ Natural Ergonomic Keyboard are tucked away on a sliding keyboard shelf. The monitor is a Samsung 173P mounted to an Ergotron Neo-Flex LCD arm which swings forward approximately 15" when in use and frees up the entire desk area underneath it.
All cables are hidden from view using pegboard and adhesive backed nylon mounting bases as shown in this photo and this photo.
This is actually how my desk looks after clearing all items except for the things I use on a regular basis. There are two shelves in the room which store books, notepads, and other office supplies that are used once in a while.
The photo is for my Declutter The Mess Under Your Desk! blog post.
It's true. This was a bit of a setup. I brought Tessa in to lie against Sole and neither one of them was in a hurry to get away. If fact, they are still more or less this after 30 minutes.
This is my most common Macro Setup.
1. Nikon D200 + 60mm Micro (Nice)
2. Nikon D200 + PK13 Extension Tube + 60mm Micro (Nicer)
3. Nikon D200 + PB6 Bellows + 60mm Micro (Wow)
4. Nikon D200 + PK13 Extension Tube + PB6 Bellows + 60mm Micro (Holy &*%$)
Here's a simple setup shot for a family portrait shoot I did today at a community hall.
There's a Canon 580ex lighting the backdrop and a 430ex with a white umbrella for the fill light. I didn't think there would be enough light at first but they all came out pretty sweet. Will post some photos from the session soon.
This is the setup I've used for most of my shots. The main idea has been copyed from John Hallmén, who is a great source of inspiration. A lot of macro shooters use similar setups and it works really well.
From the top:
The OM-D with the 60mm macro and a cable release.
Manfrotto quick release adapter 323
Manfrotto 410 Junior geared head.
Newport 430 linear stage with a Starret micrometer with a travel of 25mm.
Manfrotto quick realese adapter 577
Berlebach Mini-tripod with leveling head.
The holder for the objets consists of:
A so called "Third hand", normally used for soldering jobs. I have cut a thread in the bottom.
Manfrotto 482 ball head.
Novoflex Minipod.
Not many people, to my knowledge anyway, uses the OM-D for this kind of macro shooting.
It seems that most of the masters like John and Nikola Rahmé, uses the Canon 5D mkll/MP-E 65 combo, but I really like this camera (and I don't have a Canon) and I think it does a decent job.

These guys were allot of fun to Photograph, yet challenging as there was both soccer and baseball going on and over 1000 people floating around the park.
It amazes me these guys choose to setup home here. the noise kept them low in there burrows for the most part making low pov photograpghs impossible.
However this guy peaked up briefly every now and then when loud noises or unusual disturbances got his attention in this case it was a pair of kids walking by behind me on a sidewalk bouncing a basketball
The setup shot for this image. Click photo in comment below for link. The straws, cinefoil and other goodies came from Midwest Photo Exchange in the Strobist DIY kit.

We have finally reached Brickvention 2019, display is now complete and have settled in for the next few days.
Hope to have 'Beyond The Brick' call past, as they are giving a talk.
Official photos to be uploaded across the next week.

Lessons learned:
- Darkfield illumination works really good with this type of shots,
- a prime lense yields sharper images,
- a low flash power on the speedlights yields sharper drops (thanks, David!),
- more light = more speedlites :-),
- ISO 200 seems to be a good compromise between low flash power and low noise...,
- the glass should be clean :-)
