Two strobe set up. Brolly above & front, spot diffuser from side onto hair. Nikon 50mm 1.8d lens.
Model: Ruth L. Portraits are a collaboration between photographer and model, Ruth's contribution shouldn't be ignored.
As I'm collaborating with Ruth L quite often, I've started a set, just for shots of her:
Shot this one using two strobes.
One vivitar 285hv camera left , 45 degrees at 1/8 power. One camera right 285hv , 45 degrees at 1/8 power.

I've been admiring Dustin Diaz's (http://www.flickr.com/photos/polvero/) work on Flickr and decided to venture into the world of strobist. Bought 3 PocketWizard Plus II, Nikon SB-28, Photek Softlighter II, a Manfrotto light stand, and some adapters for the Sony hotshoe.
Strobist: Nikon SB-28 off umbrella on camera left. Sony HVL56 behind Jimbo. Triggered by PWs.
A booth demonstrating optically triggered studio strobes. It we was a bit of a challenge trying to get the strobes to go off for you with quite a few people triggering them with their cameras at the same time.
One 800W monolight with beauty dish high up behind camera 2 SB800s at the monolight side both pointing 45 degree to subjects from beside the monolight .. one SB25 at hind of subjects
Strobist info: 580 exII with 24" softbox left of camera, 580 ex with shoot through umbrella extreme right and high pointed down to the tree, 580 exII just right of camera in a brolly, all speedlights sitting on Flex tt5's, Canon 5D with a mini TT and AC3 for ratio control (manual) metered with a sekonic 380.
Another from the photo shoot with Derek. This time I was trying to use a strobe and long exposure to make the sequence. Unfortunately being indoors didn't help and since I couldn't afford a super nice strobe, I think it didn't turn on and off fast enough to really stop his action. Still came away with some kinda cool shots though, especially for my first time trying this technique.
One thing I've realized lately is that I need to learn these strobes of mine. I have 3 speedlights and rarely use them. So, inspired by the cupcakes made here I decided to shoot some pics of them. The baker was having none of that as she demanded to be in the pics as well...which gave me more to work with. One light camera left and a little high through an umbrella. One light lower right bouncing off a reflector for fill since the reflector alone wasn't giving me what I wanted. I really need a studio to tinker with. The kitchen isn't big enough for this type of setup. Anywho...lighting remains one of the most interesting and challenging things about this hobby of mine. I hope to master it one day...but fear I'll lose interest if I do. One of my many quirks. Ah, well. Whatchagonnado?

And some layering
For the Nevada Northern's 2025 Winter Spectacular night photo shoot, a scene mimicking the old and dangerous practice known as polling was staged. Strobe lights were set up to illuminate the scene, however I noticed that the lights from the depot reflected nicely across 93's number plate at a certain angle. The bright strobes completely overpowered the orange hue of the station lights so I took an exposure in between flashes. A side effect of this was being able to see the night sky full of stars shining above Ely.

Strobist: Nikon SB-28 with Honl Snoot directly above the wooden dude. Triggered by PWs.
yn 560 II - shot with 2 yn560 II's the flash in photo is @1/128th and the other were at 1/16th i think? should have gone with a longer exposure to let the LEDs on the back burn through but hey. photoshop got rid of a lot of dust, next time i should really just get a cloth. the pillow should have been further back too, too much detail considering its clearly a pillow. A lot easier to notice these things after you haven't looked at an image for a few weeks!

Strobist: ... but it was that super-duper powerful fireball that's free to all on any given sunny day. I've had a lot of people interested in the photos I took of my Canon G10 Waterfield Design camera case, but once they learn that I used 3 strobes, they lost interest in trying it themselves. So I finally took a break from my studies and set up my DIY ultra-cheap soft box for lighting exclusively with the sun to show everyone how easy it is to take these photos. Soft box setup photo is here, construction details are in this post. I've left myself and the white foam core board in the photo so you can see how I was lighting from the front; Strobists know where to look. :-)
Thanks to DH & the Strobist Community for teaching all of us how to better illuminate our photos, no matter what the light source is. Kudos to mingthein for the tips, tricks, and inspiration on fine watch photography.
This photo is specifically for folks who look at my photos and think you need a fancy expensive DLSR camera to take nice photos. This photo was taken by my Canon point & shoot camera and you can compare it to the adjacent photos taken by my DSLR.
The watch is a knock off purchased last year in Beijing. It's too gaudy for my tastes, but I'm such a sucker for skeleton watches and the workmanship on this watch is very impressive. I'm sure there are glaring defects in it for someone who is a watch connoisseur, but it's good enough for me. The prices for real Vacheron Constantin watches that I've seen start around new Mini Cooper prices and go up to luxurious house in the hills prices. Needless to say, I will not ever be purchasing an original at those prices!
Watch is resting on a basic black marble tile.
