Just arrived 40D's Battery Grip.... Thx to UK wala Bhai G for his full time support
Made a trip to Medicine Hat to hang out/shoot photos with my buddy Justin, who is also a killer photographer. Justin had this awesome idea to have all the lights/modifiers we had with us up in the shot. Here's the resulting frame
Check out his work!

I'm kinda' a DIY sorta' guy, and so I really enjoy building my own sorts of lighting devices, clamping/mounting systems, along with doing some basic electronic modifications. All of this is quite in line with the whole Strobist way of thinking and working, and I've been meaning to post some of my DIY builds onto Flickr for some time. What you see above is a simple lil' device that's turned out to be amazingly handy for me -- insanely handy at times -- and It's also pretty dang' cheap to build (about $2.20). Five of these suckers in the kit bag costs less than a pound of (good) coffee.
Basically, what I have here is a clamp that's strong enough to hold some fairly heavy lighting gear, and a long enough spud sticking out of the clamp so that an umbrella stand/hot shoe mount can be screwed down onto it. I regularly mount my small Chimera Soft Box onto this clamp, a Photoflex hot shoe mount, a Vivitar 285 (with either E-bay trigger or Pocket Wizard), etc, etc...
All of the parts for this (or very similar parts) can be found at Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace Hardware, whatever... You might have to do a bit of poking around in order to find the most important part of this set-up (the "coupling nut"), though you'll likely discover all sorts of other fun and interesting stuff while wandering around. Here's the full parts and price list:
Home Depot "Greenie" Clamp -- $.99
One inch long, 5/16th Coupling Nut -- $.80
One-and-a-quarter inch, 5/16th-20 bolt -- $.24
**Note** I was just e-mailed and told that a 5/16th bolt has an "18 thread, not a 20."
Two Flat Washers -- $.12
One Split Washer (a/k/a: "locking washer") - $.05
Construction of this should be fairly obvious once you have all the parts together, though some drilling (with a 5/16th bit) will be necessary in order to get the bolt through the handle of the clamp.
All in all, this is quite similar to a clamping device that Mr. Strobist (David Hobby) used in his "Speed Lighting a Gym" tutorial, though I do think that the use of the coupling nut is a bit of an improvement. The hexagonal design of the nut keeps any sort of object that's mounted onto the clamp from shifting or spinning around.
Here's a link to Strobist's "Speedlighting a Gym" article:

Myself, I've included some real world examples of the clamp in use along with this posting. Just click through the slideshow for the next two images.
*****************December 10th -- A Quick Heads Up*****************
For those of you who have an interest in some of the other DIY gear that I've been working on, I have a very brief posting on my blog (doesn't everyone have a blog these days?) in which I show a really crappy photo of a new strobe mount that I've just built -- a flexible strobe mount with a big clamp at one end of the arm. If the "click link" above doesn't work, here's how to find my blog:
www.theglobalphotographer.blogspot.com
I'll end up writing quite a bit more material about the flexible strobe mount in just a few more days -- still doing a shakedown cruise with it -- for the moment, what I have up on the blog is sorta' a sneak preview

A flood of family pics... This is Grayson... If a strobe is defined as an externally triggered light source, then I guess this flashlight shot is my first strobe...
A moon jelly (Aurelia aurita) drifts near the surface at Blackbird Caye, Belize. The petal pattern in the center of the jellyfish is its gonads, and it feeds on other jellies, plankton, and mollusks. Unfortunately (or fortunately) for jellyfish, their mouth is also their anus, so they get to taste their meal twice. Yum!
....and my life comes full circle. My latest assignment at work? Take photos for our company Flickr page. Yep, I'm now getting paid to take Flickr photos. Amazing.
I don't care if y'all say Flickr is dead, dying, or irrelevant... it's done nothing but wonders for me.
(for the strobists... Speedotron strobe in medium softbox, half power, high & camera left.... Man holding doggie treats camera right.)
Just picked one of these cool 3 way flash brackets off of ebay! It's pretty cool how much power you can get out of this setup! I put it beside my White Lightning 1000 and it keeps up (besides a slower recycle time). It will be nice for outdoor portraits!
Strobist info...: 3 flash (Sony hvl-f43am, Sony hvl-f58am, Vivitar 285), camera center? all at 1/16 power into a shoot through umbrella!! :)
Me and my crazy step daughter thought it would be funny to put her head in a box :).

OOOOPS ... i did it again! *explored
Model: Marion
ISO 100, 50 mm, f/4,5, 1/160 Sek.
Say hello again to Marion. These pictures were taken during a spontaneous photo session next to our pool. Her tan was imported directly from the sunny beaches of Italy. She returned from her family vacation the prior day. Played around with the colors a bit, some skin retouching in Photoshop... et voilà!
Strobist info: The whole nine yards. My Nissin Di866 at full power shot into a Westcott umbrella from very high left. One bare LumoPro LP120 from the back left at 1/2 power for rim and water reflection. Another bare LP120 at 1/4 power to the front right for fill. All fired by Cactus V4 radio triggers.

I had the opportunity to capture of few photographs of my pianist friend Naho Sogawa and her husband Hiroyuki Oda in a wonderful private stuio in Nerima (Tokyo, Japan).
They are both extremely talented artists and it was a real honnor to be given the chance to shoot with them.
Equipment used included a triplet of Profoto B1/D1, a D810 and another triplet of Zeiss Otus lenses.
Meet Seki!

Seki is using a plastic measuring cap from a cough syrup bottle as a protective home.
Trash continues to wash on our beautiful shorelines. It is having an massive impact on our beaches and the animals that call it home.
Most common items washed on our shorelines ( lighters, caps, pet bottles, tooth brushes, razor's, Styrofoam, flip flops, floats, spoons, and rope) --- Lets keep our beaches clean!

Off Camera flash (Canon 430 EX II) placed behind the subject and shot through natural fog triggered by wireless transmitter.
Iv'e been working on my posing as well as post production.
Shot this using three lights.
One strip box to her left to simulate the light from the window. Another stripbox to her right. And a a big octabox behind the camera toward her as a fill light.
PP:
frequency separation to keep the texture but balance the light on her skin.
Added grain and used curves and HSL for the color.
