Today I checked out the Toronto Brickworks, a rundown brick factory that's been out of commission for probably longer than I've been alive. It seems like a pretty popular place amongst urban explorers and photographers. I accidentally startled a photographer that brought his clients here to take some shots.
For me, I simply wanted to scout the location and possibly experiment with some off-camera lighting. I've been reading quite extensively into the topic and thought I'd experiment with none other than myself as a subject.... (Mainly because I went on a whim..).. For now I'm limited to the Nikon CLS and an SB-600 for lighting... Fortunately this window provided excellent light for the front of this shot.. Hopefully next time I don't have to be both in front and behind the camera...
strobist: Sunlight coming from the window and a CLS triggered SB-600 positioned to the left of me at 1/4 ..
Apparently this was on explore (#101)

This young lady is a friend of mine's daughter. She is in 8th grade if you can believe that. She is absolutely gorgeous. This particular photo doesn't really do her justice but I needed a full body image to try some editing techniques on. I will be taking a family portrait next weekend of the whole family and then in the spring cheerleading photos of this young lady again. She's also very easy to work with.
Strobist info:
2 flashes used
one with a shoot through umbrella gelled (green)
one shot bare with a blue gel
I have one or two sharp shots from this arrival sequence, but I'm simply in love with catching the strobe lights. This shot, has just a bit of blur on the nose and engine, but it couldn't just sit on my HD, had to share.
Here's an older shot where the aircraft came out a bit sharper: www.airliners.net/photo/JetBlue-Airways/Embraer-ERJ-190-1...

Strobist: Two SB28s 1/2 power, silver umbrellas with an SB26 behind as a hair light, set off with Quantum Radio Slaves.
- 2 Nikon SB-80DX flash triggered by 2 Pocket Wizard Plus II
- First flash at full power | Zoom 85 mm | Shoot bounce reflective umbrella | Placed on the left over the subject
- Second flash at 1/8 power | Zoom 108 mm | Shoot bounce circular reflector disc | Placed on the right of the subject on the ground
Seen driving around Lambeth Roundabout, London. Could anyone provide any insight as to the role of this?
El modo Multi o estroboscópico puede dar unos resultados asombrosos si es bien usado. Como pueden ver en la fotografía tomada, capté a la actriz Nayra Ortega en diferentes momentos mientras hacia una acrobacia. Para hacer dicha captura los parámetros que use fueron:
Flash:
Modo Multi
20 - 5 hz
24mm
1/32
Cámara:
1/125
ISO 100
F 5.6
Exposure set to capture the ambient light of the dashboard. To highlight the steering wheel one YN5600III speedlight was used on camera right with a Rogue grid with 25°. Power was at 1/16 th controlled via the YN560TX controller.
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

I photographed this large trumpet shaped flower recently at the San Diego Botanic Garden in Encinitas, California. I didn't record the name of the plant, but if anyone knows, I'll identify it properly with thanks.
Lighting information: When I'm photographing subjects in their natural setting (instead of a studio) I always first determine what aperture and ISO I want to use before I do anything else. When that's decided, I take test shots in manual mode with the flash off and vary only the shutter speeds (up until 1/250 sec which is the maximum synch speed of my camera) until I get an exposure that I like for the background. Because the durations of the flash is so brief (typically 1/1000 - 1/10,000) the shutter speed has no effect on the flash output. Once I have the ambient background exposure set, I turn on the flash and take test exposures varying only the flash manual power setting until I get the look I like. If you do this enough, it goes very quickly and you end up with exposures that are hard to do just relying on natural light. For this image, the flash was a YN560 in an 8.6 inch Lastolite softbox held very close to the subject at camera right. The flash was triggered by my Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant album. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422

I have been playing with colored lights and thinking of some hard body art recently. so this is another one of the ideas running thru my head

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
