Smoking!!

[vulcan2912]

Hi guys

I spent an enjoyable 30 mins with the camera this afternoon experimenting on taking smoke pictures.
I set up in the garage so I could cut out the light.I used an incence stick,one studio flash head,black background and a Sigma 105mm macro lens.Mostly shot hand held using manual focus .
I've always been fascinated with pattern,colour and shape so this kind of photography is right up my street.I'm pretty pleased with the results for a first attempt.
The patterns are fantastic and remind me of clouds.The more you look the more you see.No one else will probably see this but in the pics below I can see a man,women,alien and even Darth Vader.
Hope you enjoy them and any c & c welcome.





















Cheers

Thanks for the comments guys.The pics were far easier to take than I imagined so give it a go if you like them.It's definitely something I'll be trying again when the miserable winter weather comes.
