So this was my first attempt at off camera flash. Used my 430exii on stand with wireless trigger shot through umbrella. Put umbrella on camera left. Thanks to my wife and Inga being my guinea pigs=). shot with 70-200 f4. I cant wait to do more attempts with the single strobe approach. Let me know what you think.
One of the six shots I used to spell the letters of my name in a 4 x 4 square shelf in my room (see composites for full effect here and here). Camera was set to bulb and the flash was fired in each shelf individually in sequence. Black shelves, red wall behind and green gel on strobe.
Some barrel distortion from the kit lens (but it was the only thing wide enough I have at the moment) but other than that I like it (even when you can see my hand multiple times). -

Macro study, flower detail
Single soft box to the right, 48" from subject, black velvet cyc, 100 f2.8 USM macro, Canon 40D
This was not the best lens for distance work (90 mm, manual focus), but it's a beautiful lens to use
Playing with strobes; .40 Beretta subject. Red laser down the barrel, SB-28 snooted/gridded with light green gel for background, AB800 with softbox on camera left.

Dodgy number plate ehh ;)
To be honest, the strobe light flashes way too quickly for me to get an accurate shot of it with my camera. I was snapping pictures essentially at random, as quickly as I could, and one of them came out like this.
I found these old spikes while walking along the railway tracks and thought that they could be used in a picture, but i wasn't sure how. A few days later i was looking at the pocket watch and the idea came together.
Strobist info: Two Vivitar 285hv,,,one from the left front at 45 degrees set to 1/16 power with a soft box,,the second from the right front at 45 degrees set to 1/16 power with a soft box also.
A third flash was on the floor between the camera and subject and aimed directly at a white ceiling using two diffusers to soften the effect. Flashes were triggered with wireless triggers.
The blue is a piece of cardbord underneath and curled up against a wall in the rear.
I was recently voted "Best Photographer in Ventura County", which you can read about here if you're bored. I'm doing a promotional postcard to capitalize on the marketing opportunity this creates, and this is the underlying photo.

Image to follow this video. Again, these were just me and Jerry goofin' around with the 5D, so we were a little unfamiliar with the focus thing.
I take a natural light shot at f16 / 1/80 at ISO 100, then add a flash at 1/32 power. Since I already know that at about 18 inches it is f-16, it is pretty easy to figure out what to do... hold it about 18" away. This provides a nice 'fill' to the shot. For more drama, I increase the shutter speed to 1/160, effectively lowering the ambient light and the sky by one stop... beating the sun.
As I said, the image follows:

These were all made the same day. New ones coming soon do not have focus issues... but this is just for fun anyway.
I will say that Flickr kills a hell of a lot of sharpness that was on the 5D movie... a hell of a lot.

This is a picture I took shortly after investing in a back drop kit. I decided to test the kit out while also testing the waters with my first baby shoot. Set up here was as simple as you can get. The black muslin backdrop was draped over a pillow so my model was nice and comfy the light was a single 550EX one a boom directly above in a soft box. Power was only 1/16 since I was able to work the light in so close.
I could have used a shoot through umbrella here but the soft box is a better tool when using a black background. It helps you control unwanted spill into the lens of your camera as well as keep the light off the background.
Set up is simple but just for the sake of consistence you can see the diagram here.

September 13, 2011 -- I got my new Einstein lights and a bunch of other stuff, so I decided to break them in with a few self portraits for the heck of it. Here I'm jumping around shooting with a remote.
Lighting Info: 2 Einstein E640s shot through white umbrellas to either side of me just out of frame, ~1/64 power, fired via CyberSyncs. 1/200th, f/8, ISO 100.
