Morning Chill
I must admit it, I’ve cheated on that one !!
I couldn’t get the hot water smoke to be dense enought for it to show in the picture. So, after about 50 pictures, I gave up and used an incent stick instead.
Altough I am happy with the results, I have decided that I will re-shoot this one later with hot water/cofee steam instead.
Cup was placed on a table in total darkness. Camera settings where 6 seconds exposure at f/16 ISO 100.
I have painted with light manually with an external flash, at 1/128 of its power, smoke and interior of the cup during the exposure time. I fired the flash 5 or 6 times during the exposure.
