Home office setup. Most of my work is done on the PowerMac G5 Quad which is also powering two 20" Apple Cinema Displays. Moreover, I own a iBook G4 which I use for presentations. I shall soon be upgrading to a Macbook Pro later this year. Also I own a Fender Strat and constantly read mathematics books.

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.

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.

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's the setup for my levitation shot and my jump kick shot.

Vivitar 285HV at 1/4 power in a shoot-through umbrella.
Red laundry hamper is approximately where I stood/jumped.
Tripod is where the camera was.
I think I'll be using this room as the studio from now on. Lots of space is nice. :)

For the curious, I took a setup shot for the Racing Stripes photo.
The HeroClix figure stands on one of my green shirts. A blue posterboard serves as the backdrop. I placed a couple of push-lights in front of the Flash (only one shown). As is typical for my toy photography, a large diffuser (not shown) is positioned above the scene.
The striped streaks were made with colored pencils and markers on a simple strip of paper by my wife and me. The strip is propped up with a box of raisins at the front and one of my LEDs in the back.
The camera has three inexpensive magnifying lenses attached to the front, not a macro lens.
I post-processed the image in iPhoto, mostly brightening the colors a bit.
It still amazes me how much I can do with two flashes and some cheap triggers.
(No setup info nessasary because of the setup photo.)
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.
Setup shot for this one.
X1600 in beauty dish above camera
X1600's on either side of backdrop, about a stop higher than beauty dish
I've just been clamping white poster board to the reflectors on the background lights to cut flare rather than trying to get anything large home from the hardware store and it's been working pretty well
There was a lot of traffic through the room the day this was taken, but usually the backdrop would be fully extended over the floor to cut the orange reflections from the wood floor.

I really wanted to try shooting on white with the option of reflective surface. I knew the easiest way to do to so would be to light my subject on the a reflective surface (found bathroom mirror) from the back with a large softbox and fill in from the front. I didn't have a softbox, so I improvised with a piece of white foamboard found at any office supply place and few $1 spring clamps. I am not planning to sell the amazing Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens, but if I do sell it or any other gear I will seriously consider using this setup.
until tomorrow,
enjoy

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. ;-)
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.
