feb 2014,was at the backdoor,noticed this flying past-it was totally silent,no usual red and green navigation lights .it then stopped in its tracks and hovered while strobing , very bright. i went into the house to get camcorder and luckily it was still there when i came back out. not the best footage-i got a little trigger happy with the zoom.

Tonight we went to check out some water nearby. But the light was super boring so we tried out a bit of strobing. I got my trousers wet and too bad that there were no straw rolls but the results were pretty nice for a strobist beginner :)
My great-grandmother has been in a nursing home for the last 6 months, and has been back to her house twice in that time. She asked the other day if the leaves on the tree outside her bedroom window had turned colors yet.
I'd been out shooting all day, and didn't make it to her house until after 8PM, about an hour after sunset, when it was already dark. Because the weather was going to turn ugly, I set up a Nikon SB600 on a stand just out of frame on the left. The D200 is on a tripod, and I had an SB800 in hand. It was dark enough out that I had to use the modeling light on the SB800 just to focus.
With a Tokina 12-24mm mounted, I set the camera for a 15-second exposure at f/4 with rear-curtain sync and the SB600 at full power. I pushed the shutter release and then popped the SB800 five or six times, walking in a semi-circle around (behind) the camera as I did.
I'm not happy with the lighting on the house, but at least I got the tree, and a really interesting sky.
(By the way, the red cast on the left side of the photo is from the street light across the street on the corner.)
Trash bag setup.
What do you think?
Cost maybe a nickel? No - Wait! I can still use the bag for trash! (Or did I just do that?)
Shots from the "Strobing with Speedlights" workshop I ran at Team Digital. Our model was Brad (from my "forme" project); he was a hit with the ladies!
Fun at the Studio, where our students learn how to shot a variety of styles, from Fashion to Products.
strobist info: homemade strip light 45° back left, another one 45° back right, gridded softbox 60° front, camera right.
I started out shooting off-camera with a Contax TLA280. A nice flash, three power settings in a small package. After playing with the Sunpak 383 and 120J and the Metz 40MZ I've settled on the Elinchrom BxRi as my all around favorite strobe for the apartment studio.
Lighting: Elinchrom BxRi 250ws in a gridded CreativeLight softbox (60x90cm) from left side (of camera). Lastolite TriLite reflectors for fill around the strobe.
Shot taken for my write-up on the BxRi stobe design for my blog:
Each year my camera club arranges a model night; this year it was last evening. It's not my favourite subject, however these are my three favourite shots.

Butterfly lighting, 1 Profoto Strobe with Round softbox for f7.1 directly above pointing down at 45 deg.
Only four of the 6 strobes used are visible here but it gives you some idea of the layout.
This shot taken from behind.
The sixth strobe being the mighty Metz CL45 hammerhead mounted on the camera taking this picture.
Many thanks to Mr Chard for wireless trigger and extra strobes along with any other contributor I may have forgotten.
