Shot some with strobes and some without over a five-minute period that featured the ever-struggling-not-to-kill-me Ms. Vernon getting ready to head to Prom Dinner while I returned from teaching a workshop at Starved Rock. We found a brick wall and went to work.
Ill take some more EF lenses...ANYONE?!
I borrowed some Speedlites from Dave for a shoot tomorrow

• Se usaron 5 flashes Canon EXII580.
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.

And of course visit me on my Blog or face book.
Svarteld lightstand with two Lastolite 100cm umbrella-softboxes, two strobes, one Pocket Wizard, one optical slave trigger. Regarding the light stand I applied three little hacks regarding the head and thee feet of the tripod, as well as for the rope that holds the umbrellas in place.
The strobes are mounted without using a swivel. See the pictures in the stream or in my Strobist DIY album for more details.

Shots like these used to drive me absolutely insane. Anyone that used a blowtorch before would tell you that the inner cone might be visible, but the outer cone is very faint (and, a quickie science class here: The hottest part of the flame is at the tip of the inner cone).
To shoot this shot, I turned off my shop lights (and make my way back to the torch, very careful not to trip over my camera - or worse, topple the tripod with my camera and poverty wizard multimax into the blow torch). Now, my ambient light is my flame and I can expose for that without worrying about blowing anything else out. Finally, to capture the rest of the scene (torch, canister, etc) I use a strobe softened with a brolley, and just adjusted power accordingly to give myself a good exposure on the can and background.
I think on camera flash would have killed the cherry red hot tip.

Here's my first try at strobing.
Was completely unprepared, so all I had to use as a strobe was my dad's Samsung Galaxy.
ISO 100
10mm
f3.5
45 second exposure
A second go at the muppet shot with a small shoot-through brolly this time. The flash is blue-gel'd as before and the shot's colour balanced in-camera to throw the blue light back to white and the background to orange.
Played around with the flash I borrowed from Arif and I have no idea how to strobe. I went out to the garage and played around and happened to get a nice shot.
Next time, I should do my homework :(
Myself in my room.
Cross illumination based on a 580EX on right (1/8 power) diffused via a shoot-throug white umbrella, a bare Vivitar on left @ 1/16 power
Camera on tripod, remote release (that's why left hand is not in the scene).

edited in DPP and sharpened in Gimp.
Please notice the different shape of the shadows, cause by a bare and a diffused light
A PVC cap covers these controls to keep rain out. Clamp (C shaped part of what used to be a PVC "T" fitting upper left of controls) just clips on the PVC tripod leg and pops off when you want to remove it. This controls pan, tilt, power level, modeling light and main on-off.
Fun at the Studio, where our students learn how to shot a variety of styles, from Fashion to Products.

Three strobes: 2 Vivitar 285HVs 1/16 left and right w CTO gel, 1 540EZ at 1/32 from the bottom of the frame. White reflector at frame top.
Not quite happy with the DOF - the "top nut" is a little soft in the shell:-)
Test Shot for lighting set-up at camera club. The only shot I took all evening.
Lighting: Single Quantuum 300 W/S strobe @ 1/32nd power into gridded and double diffused 120x80cm Soft-Box (Speed-Box, brolly-type, similar to a Westcott Apollo), triggered by RadioPopper JRx's.
Debs & I set the lights up at at CC for the members to have a play with.
2 set-ups on the night. 2 x 600 W/S Quantuums and 2 x 300 W/S Quantuums triggered by either RF-602's or RadioPopper JRx's. Some of us even ventured outside to shoot some flash/ambient mixed shots.
4 strobes to enlight the background and 1 strobe front of the model with a big silver umbrella

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 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 glass tiles that I found at a discount store for $1.50/ea which is on a square foot tile of frosted white plastic from Tap Plastic.
