After taking about 300 images, I got at least one good smoke shot yesterday:
I still have to look over a few images and decide, which ones are good, but that will take some time. And I plan to try these as Cyanotypes as well (maybe inverted as this one, maybe not). I got the inspiration in hd connelly's smoke set.
Biggest challange with these shots is to get good lightning. I think I have found a set-up now. Then you just have to push the trigger in the right second…
Biggest problem with these shots is, that the joss sticks stink awfully (I can't stand incense normally)!
these are beautiful! I just found this doing a random google search and knowing my smoke shots inspired you to try it out has made my day! :)
You're welcome! ;-)
These are fantastic!! How do you do this?
Thanks! Basically it's easy: burn something that will smoke (like an incense stick), set-up good lightning and push the trigger in the right moment. My rate is about 1 good shot out of 50...
