Smoke Art

smoke_hdr

Inspired by the outstanding work of Graham Jeffery, as well as the Smoke Art Group on Flickr®, I read some tutorials, setup in the wee-hours and snapped off a few mice elf (SS). The smoke is created by two incense sticks in a pitch dark room, one strobe and a reflector. Prefocus the camera so all you have to do is trip the shutter while you manipulate the smoke with your other hand or some object. As this is a first attempt, I’d like to try some using mesh or screens,  or even a funnel, –whatevah. If they look presentable, I’ll add to this same proof group [more added 12-13-09].       -R-
