Whilst not lighting rig shots, I do describe what I use for each shot when uploading to my account:

My Flickr (external link)

I don't normally shoot lighting set ups as a) I don't usually have time and b) The set up varies to the lighting conditions (sun appearing/disappearing​). All location shots are done using the Canon IR system.


Some call me the Heilan' Laddie, but others call me Rob.

What I bring and how I set up will revolve around the type of shoot I'm doing, but as an example of a simple and really effective setup, I've posted a snap I just happened to take of the setup, and a sample image from that day.

Since the OP is asking for outdoor lighting setups, here you go:

I'm using a 42" white bounce umbrella with a Nikon SB-800 as the main light source with a 52" white round reflector as a fill source. It's a standard 2 light source setup and very effective. Triggering is done with Pocket Wizards. The flash and umbrella are mounted to a 7' Norman light stand with a sandbag on one of its legs and the reflector is being held by a Photoflex LiteDisc holder mounted to an 8.5' Impact light stand with a sandbag on one of its legs.

Very interesting thread, I'll be keeping an eye on this one... I picked up two AB800s with the intent of getting a Vag II at some point to move it outdoors. I don't do much inside, so it'll be interesting to see what people are using - and how.
