Guys,
Great set ups and a great thread! (y)
I'll take a picture of mine later this evening and post, too. It's interesting how we all do things differently in regards to our picture set ups. For me, I have found that having three lights (one at 430, the other at 830 and a fill light at 630) produces the best photos. I think though, this is due to the fact that I use a stand alone table in a corner with very little bleed-over light from my work bench...I have also found out that I need more space than I anticipated to take good pictures...
What time of the day have you found best to take pictures?
Hope all is well...

Hi Ed
This is just the kind of visual info I am looking for.

I am new to this photographic thing, and seeing how you guys
set up for your pics is really helpful.

Later tonight I am attending our local club meet and I shall be taking
pictures of some of our members work.All good practise, hope Rob Herring
can make it as I need some hints and tips.

This is my usual workdesk set up as an on-the-spot studio for making in-progress pics.

Only source of light is Actualite. Camera is hand-held with a monopod. Back drop paper is stuffed into converted shoe-box which also doubles as my painting cabin for airbrushing.

The whole set-up is designed to be folded up and put away quickly before the all-too frequent vacuum cleaner alerts! :lol:

Thanks for sharing, folks. I like seeing the background material that is used!

I don't feel so bad about using an old blue blanket now!

Quang, so it just takes a £129 actualite lamp and a box with a background paper, and that's it?

OK, thanks, so a camera AND an actualite are on next month's shopping list!
 
Actually it's my 'quick' set-up for making in-progress picts (like the one below).

I use no flash, just the Actualite. The camera is hand-held and stabilized somewhat with a monopod. Setting is on 'Macro' (which is in fact 'Close-up' with other makes. There's a true macro on this camera. Only Olympus calls it 'Super Macro' ). Distance from camera to figure is about 20-25 cm. ISO set on 100 and I hold my breath when I click on the shutter.

For the finished box-art photos, I use a set-up similar to Anders'. Two 100 watts desk lamps and another 40 watts to fill-up the back drop. Camera on tripod and much more fiddling between shots.

You actually got the Belted Kingfisher's colours right!

(Rappelle-toi que la femelle est plus coloree, elle a une bande rousse a travers la poitrine)


(y) Thanks for the tips! I'll copy-paste-print that!
