No original ideas, Just new equipment

I have been reading UHH for quite awhile and looking at photos and getting ideas. Been purchasing new equipment and trading in old stuff. Finally decided I would try putting it all together and after stealing ideas from UHH members I built my "studio" on the kitchen table. I used PVC from my shop, a sandwich bag filled with water, a cake pan (its diet time so no cakes allowed) with water, red food color, and a 12 X 12 tile from Home Depot (99 cents). My new equipment consists of a Sb 910 speedlite, Pocket Wizard III's, Nikon 105 mm f/2.8, and my Nikon D7000. All photos are right out of the camera. Next stop will be Lightroom 4 (still on learning curve there as well). Items photographed are ideas from UHH>

Most other home studios are a bit more extensive I think :-) I used my granddaughters pop tarts in place of a tripod to hold my strobe off camera, and file folders to bounce color. A sandwich bag with a pin hole provided the drip. Very technical stuff! All photos are right out of the camera.

Thanks wrr!
