Spoonful of smoke

Thanks so much Shelly. Yep – sidelighting (cactus trigger to my SB800). It was a fun shoot (but very smelly fun!). I’d lost all my smoke pics before I could upload them in Dec when my disk crashed so needed to reshoot.

Thank you so much Mark – this was a fun shoot. Not too much skill once the set-up is done, but the results are almost always attention grabbers.

Thanks Pamela – so glad that you think so!

Thank you – flip the pic and you’ll see. The rest is a joss stick, a dark room and off-camera flash.

Thanks Dean – sounds like you had a fun weekend! I decided to be anti-social this weekend.
Next weekend – splash pics (not drop pics – but things going splash!)

Got it right in one Peter! I still need to get smoke rings – I tried and tried – I need to fashion something (like bellows) to get the rings.

I’m pretty certain they can’t be – the smell still lingers at home and I continue to get dirty looks from the wife – LOL.
Thanks George – had to think of something to make this ‘different’.
Note to self: get nice smelling ones like citronella or something and don’t just go for the longest ones to get more smoke.

Thanks so much Jay – glad you dropped by for a visit!

Thank you!

Thank you so much Sylvia – much appreciated!

Thanks Wendi – lost them a day after I shot them over a weekend. I usually back-up right away, but in this case I shot the set over 2 days so didn’t back up and lost everything. Oh well!
Cactus – http://www.gadgetinfinity.com/product.php?productid=16766 – I use these to wirelessly trigger my flash – they’re less affectionately called “Poverty Wizards” as they’re the cheapo versions of Pocket Wizards (sort of).

Thanks Nic – yep, after shooting about 100 shots, I started getting bored myself :-) Being in the kitchen (my studio – LOL), my mind started wandering….

Thank you so much Johanne! Glad I made you wonder – that a big compliment!

Thank you – I will, just joined that Group!

Thanks Francesca – actually a lot easier than drop pics – give it a go!

Thank you so much Tracey – thanks for favouriting it too!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much!

Thanks Josie – try this out some time – they’re great fun!!
