Nameless
Smoke photography is really addictive! I can’t get bored of endless forms and shapes it can take.
I saw a pic on the net that inspired this shot unfortunately I don’t have the link to give due credits.
Although I’ve decided to publish this version I’m unsure if it would have been better in colors. Maybe I will end-up posting both.
The spoon was held in place by a very strange home made thing. Underneath the spoon, at close distance, I placed 2 incent sticks.
Camera was set at ISO 100 6 seconds exposure in total darkness and smoke was manually painted with light with an external flash at 1/128 of its power. I fired the flash twice if not mistaken.
