Thank you for sharing those, Eric! I studied every one carefully, and loved seeing that you, too, use some messy, primitive setups. It delights me that they can turn into such awesome end results.

Your examples were interesting, useful and entertaining - thank you.

Awesome!! Thanks!! You have given a beginner like me great incite into how setup's are done. I have done my second set-up today for a challenge myself.

You've done a great job. I rarely take pics of my setups, but I do have it for this photo.

well when I first started here at DPC, I spent hours looking over pics in the old challenges and peoples portfolios (even now you'll catch me up till 3am browsing through everyone's pictures)

Every time I found an image that had setup pics I used to be so thrilled, i'd carefully study the setup and read through all the details, that's how I learned everything... so as soon as I started taking pics, I began taking setup pics as well...

even for complicated studio setups, all you have to do is swap for a wide lens, take a couple steps back and fire away (leave the flash trigger on) and you'll get a shot like this
.

it takes like 1 minute to do it and it can be VERY helpful to others...

I'm glad everyone appreciates them, because I really appreciate it when others show theirs as well =)

Just wanted to thank you Eric, for the diligence with which you have always written your photos up with. I always enjoy reading write ups, and you never seem to disappoint, so thank you.
Also, I extend my thanks to the others in this thread as well.

You mean you set pics up?

Oh! I get it now! (Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.....)

Okay, on this one, I stuck this piano in the corner, knocked the glass out of the window, and didn't touch it for 35 years.
