Home made grid test shot (see grid itself here: www.flickr.com/photos/adamdpl/5644558648)
Setup: 40x40 foldable softbox camera right and up, white wall about 1.5m behind me :-)
Left: with grid, right: without.
Light loss with grid is about 2/3EV
added exposure in aperture2 to ensure all white is white, but perhaps this makes it to......hot
anyway lets see what everybody says!
strobist: 1 softbox below, 1 umbrella left above
Here is the softbox made by husband. It has 5 bulbs. There are 2 switches to control the intensity of the light. The stand adjustable. The head is also adjustable. Got the idea to use a flag holder for this function from another Flickr user.
Pick and shoot. Me and my good friend Sopan doing a walk to Kpg Semariang Batu yesterday when we met this boy playing with the hammer behind the under construction house. We are very lucky because this young kid agree when we want to shoot his portrait. The unplanned pose, he is freely move in-front of my lens ;D

Godox 19" softbox for Witsro AD-180 & AD-360 bare bulb flash. Umbrella-strut system with solid rods for quick set-up and durability. Not shown is diffuser sheet which can fit under grid. Deflector plate, diffuser and grid can be used simultaneously or in any desired combination. Deflector plate can be mounted convex in or concave in as desired, for further control of light spread.
I'm working on trying to make this seem more real. This is my first real background replacement composite exercise. C&C is welcome.

Lighting stuff. When I first started learning how to use off camera flash, I bought 3 Nikon flashes and used the Nikon Creative Lighting system to manage them. It mostly uses TTL flash and is triggered by the pop up flash on the camera. After a while I started using inexpensive manual strobes and radio triggers - primarily from Yongnuo because I like being able to control my flashes manually, and not depend on the flashes seeing the popup flash from the camera. Also, I can buy 5 or 6 Yongnuo flashes for the price of one Nikon flash. I would only use my Nikon flashes on those rare occasions when I needed TTL flash. However, I'm sometimes frustrated by not being able to use manual strobes and triggers at a shutter speed higher than the sync speed of 1/250 second. Yesterday I came across a hummingbird image from Flickr user Jeff Stamer in which he used nikon flashes to photograph hummers using shutter speeds of 1/8000 second and f22 at iso 200. He had the following sentence in his description "If you would like to take photos like this of hummers, just check out my detailed 'how-to blog" at: www.firefallphotography.com/hummingbird-heaven/". I checked it out, and it made me want to learn how to get around the sync speed limitation. This is one of the first images I've taken using high speed sync, and it opens up a lot of possibilities, particularly since I have the flashes and a camera that's compatible. I'm very grateful to Jeff for being willing to share his knowledge and techniques.
Here's that link again if you're interested:

For this hibiscus image which was taken in partial sunlight, I wanted a relative large aperture (f7.1) to create bokeh, and that required a shutter speed of 1/500. No problem using Nikon CLS and high speed sync. My nikon SB-600 in an 8.6 inch Lastolite softbox and in TTL mode was triggered by the popup flash on my D7100.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
This sexy nurse was, in fact, quite sexy, but I really wanted a shot of Optimus. His costume was great, diy and very well executed. Sadly, he was mobbed, and some people in his party wanted to go home, so I didn't pester him.
Taken on Halloween 2007 in New York with my DIY soft bouncer. 1/3sec at f/14, TTL flash (modern cameras are awesome), pre-focused at about 6 feet at the beginning of the evening. ISO 200. Pushed (and maybe cropped) in Photoshop.

I bought a couple of cheap softboxes from Adorama and made a bracket for my hot shoe flashes. Took me a while to figure how exactly to get it to work, but basically I ended up buying a T bracket and a straight piece of steel to bend and drill holes through.
Here are a few I shot with one of the softboxes. Sorry the dog was the only one available to be photographed at the time. Will try to get people shots later.
Our Dachshund Honey wishes you all a Merry Christmas!

580ex Westcott 28" softbox camera left around 45 degrees and above subjects eye level.
Wish i could have got a clean background, but the wall surface isnt good (and i think it might be noise from my ancient Canon 20d!). Tried to fix it in Photoshop but without complete success.
I like what the beauty dish did to bring out the texture when it's placed on the side.
