This is my setup for my Tomb Raider inspired picture as seen here.
For this shot I used my Canon Rebel SL1 set up on a tripod using my 40mm f/2.8 pancake lens, (btw this camera/lens combo is great for an everyday camera because it's small but it's still a proper dslr and it even has video too) and I used my handy-dandy remote shutter so its easier to focus on not setting my custom mining on fire instead of the shutter button. My setup for this specific shot involved a bunch of random dirt clumps that had moss on them that I might’ve took from my neighbor’s yard, and I used some random leaves because i couldn’t find enough dirt clumps but i still needed to make the end of the cave darker so it was easy to use leaves as coverage. I put all the crap that I used for the shot on a flipped over plastic bin lid because it is waterproof and easy to transport the whole setup somewhere else when needed. The waterproofiness of that bin lid comes in handy because my original idea was to have a flooded cave (as they usually are in Tomb Raider) so I just filled that thing up with water. I ended up using using a longer barbecue lighter rather than the one in the picture because it was easier to direct the flame without burning my thumb. The final shot for this pic is pretty much straight out of camera, albeit a bit of color balancing.

From Saturday, May 11th. I missed out on the grand display of lights from the previous night however, this still was a rewarding night. About 15 other people gathered at or near the boat launch where I had my tripod setup along with my longtime photography friend, Paul Domsten. It was interesting that this many strangers get together late at night for 2-3 hours and silently watch the ever changing display of lights in the sky. Only an occasional whisper was heard amongst them.
This is a picture of the lighting setup that I used today to photograph hummingbirds at my sister and brother-in-law's house. The light stand at the back is to put light on the sky colored background that my wife painted for this purpose. The other 4 light stands have a total of 5 strobes all pointed at the right side of the red hummingbird feeder. I put tape over the holes on the left side of the feeder so that the birds would only feed from the holes on the right side. Down below in the first comment you can see one of the pictures I took using this setup.
Some people find these setup shots helpful so I've created an album with some of them. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/albums/72157642517882554

Finally taking a little time out to experiment with LCD sources for camera tossing, this was the setup. A slowly rotating filled polygon built with processing. These were just trials and unfortunately I won't have any polished results to share... and here's why...
The sad news, although camera tossing is dangerous, I always said it is far less dangerous than just everyday handling of your camera. I just proved it. I finished a round of trials with this setup, put the camera down on the pillow on a chair (the same pillow I had been using to catch it with), and it promptly flopped off onto the floor. Lens train was smushed, popped it back into place, but the focus mechanism refused to work after and it is officially dead with a dreaded "camera error" on boot. *sigh*
I had written several scripts and many of them had various different behaviors... I was looking forward to testing with them. Alas.
Setup shot for this polaroid photo. Home Depot light and aluminum foil reflector. I only shoot with the high budget stuff!
