read about how I set-up my Personal Domino as my main planner :) breakitdawns.blogspot.com/2013/11/planner-setup-personal-...
This is my Office Setup, not so clean but perfect for work.
The desktop system is an Dell Optiplex 745 Core 2 Duo 2.13GHz with 3 GB of Ram and its connected to 2 Dell LCD Monitors (24'' and 19'').
The Laptop it’s a Dell Latitude D830 with Core 2 Duo 2.00 Ghz with 2 GB of Ram, I love this laptop!!!!
Hope you like the setup.
My setup as of December 2009.
I've got a 22" HD Ready TV with Xbox 360 Elite, Playstation 3 (40GB), Nintendo Wii, Playstation 2 and N64 hooked up to it in some form. The only thing I really use the HD for in the Xbox atm. 3 racks to hold games; I've got 22 Xbox games, 23, PS3 games, 11 Nintendo Wii games, 13 N64 games and 43 PS2 games in there. I also have a stand near by to hold my GH guitars and such
My specimen photos are taken using this setup. The base is a block of wood from the offcut bin of a hardware store that sells kitchen worktops. The camera is attached directly to a BPM focus rail, which is mounted on a tripod quick-release plate, screwed to the base through another small piece of wood. The rail allows me to move the camera and coarse focus it. At the other end of the table is the specialist equipment: a Proxxon KT 70 table, screwed to the base. This is a low-cost alternative to linear actuators or stacking rails: one turn of the handle moves the table 1 mm. The divisions on the dial are 0.05 mm, so by moving to half way between each one I take frames at 0.025 mm intervals, which is narrow enough for most whole-insect photos I take. Smaller intervals are possible with smaller movements of the handle, but they are not easy to measure. This idea came from John Hallmen: you can see his setup here. Without his advice, I would not have been able to do any of this, so thank you to John and to Nikola Rahme; two people whose photos I greatly admire and who have shared their techniques freely on flickr.
A SIlverline Helping Hands is mounted on the Proxxon table. The crocodile clip holds a piece of plastazote in its jaws; I stick the specimen's pin into the plastazote and try to get it in the same plane as the camera sensor. This is fiddly: a vertical setup would be easier for this, but it would need better handiwork skills than I have. A heavy granite base would also make for a more stable setup, as would a concrete floor instead of a wooden one, but there is nothing I can do about that in my house.
Lighting comes from a flourescent tube desk lamp. The lamp would not hold itself in the right position, so I broke it off from its stand and I held it in a clamp stand instead. I use a simple cylinder of greaseproof paper as a diffuser: this is just pushed on to the end of the lens. To help get a more even light I have a sheet of kitchen foil as a reflector opposite the lamp. I also fix on the camera a 26mm stepping ring with foil over the front, another idea from John Hallmen, explained here.
I have tried other lighting, such as using two Ikea lamps (like the one that carries the foil in the picture above), each with a plastic cup over it to act as a diffuser. But the setup shown here is the one I have come to prefer.
I use Zerene Stacker for the stacking, with DMap as my main image, retouched from the PMax image where the detail is lost in the DMap. Then the image is edited in GIMP before getting a posting here.

Hello again,
this is my water drop setup at the moment.
As you can see I have 2 external flashes, 1 Nikon D90 camera, 5 plastic foils with diferent colors, an IKEA shere, one bowl to have milky water in it, One device to attach the dripper in, a baby drinking thing as water dripper, 2 claws to keep that device in place, some aditional water on the right on the flor, and finaly one skrew to use to get right focus.
Remember the setup:
- ISO 100-200
- F/16
- 1/60s
- Flashes on 1/64 power
- 2-5 cm water with milk in it
- Camera at a 30 degree angle
- Use the srew to get focus, place it where the drop lands.
- All on Manuel on the camera
- A good lence, 2,8, 90-110mm
- IS/VR off
- 25-60 drop range
- conditor colors to add color to the drops, when you want to.
Remember to remove the screw after focused. :-)
Will paste some samples as well. Aso remember you
Here is the setup shot for Cristal Beauty. I had her hold the Moon Unit for fill seeing that I dont have a reflector.

Setup for the portrait of the clown. I use on the right side 580EX with a silver coated umbrella and on the left side the SB26 with a gobo directing the light to create a hair light. Both flashes have an Orange CTO gel to give a better skin tone. This was made during a session on the backstage of a circus event and outside the clown's dressing room... you can still see the door on the right of the frame.

setup for this.
featuring 'Lizzie' sunglasses from Wintercheck Factory (www.wintercheckfactory.com/shop/1175-LIZZIE-SUNGLASSES)
Model & Wardrobe: Alexander Parker

Assistants: Brittany Sturrett and Jessica Whitehead
Strobist: Two Profoto Acute2 packs, 5 heads. One high, center, and front (key); one high center and back (hair); one on each side and back (rims), one behind model for background light; all were gridded 10°. Alienbees ABR800 Ringflash on-camera.
Setup shot of Mini Fab in the stream. Alien Bee 1600 with beauty dish, camera right. Here is a picture of Ray taking his shots.
Experimental setup to edge light a glass, using just 2 small lights and a pair of DIY difussion screens 9 Details here : www.flickr.com/photos/steveblackdog/5026934119/ )
By using the screens, I was able to both light the glass and mask the black part of the background from the same lights. Hopefully the photo shows where the light was hitting the backdrop.
The lighting is a little off balance as the left screen was fitted with tracing paper, while the right had a sheet of white printer paper. Hopefully it shows the tracing paper gave a slightly harder light.
Lights were a pair of Neewer SF-01 mini slave flashes, mounted on Blazzeo SLT-4 radio triggers and mini tripods.
As an aside, all the lighting gear used for this shot, cost less than £40/$60, so if you thought using flash off the camera was expensive to get started, it needn't be.
Current setup as of today. Since the last photo I took, I sold the HDDVD player, packed the DVD recorder away, and now all there is is the TV, AV Receiver, PS3, Sky+HD box, and dad's old CD player.
This is beginning to look familiar :) Maybe I should have switched the red and blue around for a bit of variety ;-)
I have altered the angle of the overhead light in this shot to better show the working area, but it does still show how the brightfield lighting works on the bottle. The black portion of the backdrop is slightly compromised because of this.
The black portion is an A3 Sheet of Fun Foam and is postioned approx 12 inches/300mm behind the bottle. I find this foam is less reflective than card and use it most of the time.
The large white part of the backdrop is an old advertising sign and made of a heavy duty kind of Foamcore with a plastic instead of paper covering. Onto this I fit various sheets of card/paper/foam sheets as required with spring clamps at the top and as you can see, clothes pegs.
The flash at the top is also mounted on another spring clamp which has a screw on cold shoe to mount the flash.
This is a Yongnuo YN460, set at 1/16th power for the actual shot. This is fitted with a card flag/reflector to prevent the light from falling on the bottle itself, I have altered the angle slightly to allow a little more light spill for this setup shot.
The little flashes to the sides are Neewer SF-01 mini slave flashes, also sold as Godox CF-18 or Vivitar SF2000's. These are mounted on Blazzeo SLT-4 radio triggers (re-branded PT-04 TM) which are in turn fitted on cheap mini tripods.
Also worth noting is my worklight in the front right corner. Though the room is far from dark, the lighting is subdued and this light helps me see what i'm doing.
It is a Yongnuo SYD-0808 LED video light set on it's lower setting and left on the whole time. As you can see, it has no impact on the photo due to it's low power compared with the flashes, it's still too bright to look into directly though.
After my winter break, I am starting this year with a 52 weeks project!
Every sunday a new shot with setup!!

Todays high speed shooting setup,
Lessons learnt from last time.
Put egg on a sturdy plinth, then it won't fall over.
Check focus between shots.
Shoot in RAW
A bit furry but it was taken with my phone.
Some info
Canon EX 430II set at 1/64 power
on ebay hotshoe, tripped with diy photo sound trigger.
mic about 6-8 feet from bb gun. behind camera.
bb gun about 12" from egg, shooting from the left.
For those interested in the Trigger.
The circuit I used, I came across on diyphotography.net
www.diyphotography.net/universal_sound_and_optical_slave_...
that post was by a guy called lullaby, he has a website with tips, lullaby.homepage.dk/gallery/index.html
My Schematic is basically the same as lullaby's (all credit to him), I just added the reset button and the extra mic.
Light setup for a portion of the yoga pose shoot.
Two White Lightening x1600s, both on lowest power. One on boom with covered umbrella (functioning like a soft-box) on boom arm directly overhead. One with strip-light box behind model.
Studio: North Denver Photographers Studio.
Here is the setup shot for the two shots below if anyone is interested. Also if anyone sees some differences they would make on the placement let me know. I had to keep the strobe relatively close to the back of the train as it was super windy and that octabox would tip over pretty easily if any big gust of wind came about.

Now I can share a setup shot since i've tried it out and seen that it works very well. I haven't messed with colors or the lighting much yet on my photos, just been getting comfortable with using the electronics. I will say the stopshot is a joy to use over doing these manually like I did before. I think the next time I shoot it will be time to try out some ideas I have. I do have a shoot that I might upload later, but it is just a test just. thanks for looking.
BTW the broom hanging on the wall in the back is not part of the setup. ;-)
Setup Shot For RR shoot.
(thanks to Aly for gettin this shot of me.)
