Pardon me professor ....?

This tested my patience … really did – LOL

Held the glass upside down to fill in smoke. Quickly inverted it and clicked the smoke escaping. So many tries …...

Edited the title after the first comment from Nicollette (PinPix) :-) Used to be “Brimful of smoke”

Pardon me professor ....? by Vikram Franklin

Nicolette Thain

oh my Profeesor Vikram! looks like a chemistry experiment lol
Vikram Franklin replied

LOL – yep, had already done the one with the glass – wanted to surprise you!
Francesca Rizzo

this is abs excellent – it sure paid off as you’ve got the excellent result – great reflection too :)
Vikram Franklin replied

Thank you so much Francesca – for the favouriting and the lovely comment!
TickerGirl

This is cool Vikram, your smoke experiments produce really good results :)
Vikram Franklin replied

Thanks Monika – another unseen result is the number of dirty looks I get at home because of the smell! ;-)
Johanne Brunet

Love it! It’s so different from the other smoke art we usually see. Love the blues. Ha! You were chasing the blues away, and they went up in smoke! ;-)
Vikram Franklin replied

LOL – that’s a line from a bad movie :-)
Yep – felt I needed to have something different from the usual smoke art pics – so from 150+, you have just these 4 (perhaps 5).
Chose to add the blue to compliment the bottom of the glass.

Well, it was definitely worth to keep on trying to get this right! Well balanced shot. It’s hard to get a high ‘success ratio’ with smoke vanishing in the blink of an eye…
Vikram Franklin replied

So glad you think so – almost gave up 8-10 shots before this one!
Wendi Donaldson

Love how the blue in the base of the glass is echoed in the blue smoke …great idea.
You’re amazing with these glasses…. you’ll have to do a calendar with them and all the different shots! Great stuff! The title makes me LOL!
Vikram Franklin replied

Thank you Wendi – always look forward to your comments!
Yeah – I tend to use these glasses as props quite often – should think about the calendar!
Pete Costick

Great work Vikram, very nicely done.
Vikram Franklin replied

Thank you so much Pete!

First the glasses series, then the smoke series, and now it’s all coming together! Very nice and clever :-)
Vikram Franklin replied

Thanks George – watch this space for the “splash” shoot (hopefully sooner rather than later).
Appel

Wow! Well worth the effort! Glad you had the patience for it!!! :-)
Vikram Franklin replied

Thanks Ann – not again for a very long time (a very, very long time).
Shelly Hiebert

WOW! This is absolutely BRILLIANT! Trust you to come up with this, and have the patience to play it all out so perfectly! You constantly amaze me Vikram! I agree with everything that has been said and now I am going to pick my jaw up from the floor….........wonderful work :)
Vikram Franklin replied

Thanks Shelly – am so flattered!
Not patience – ‘bloody mindedness’ is what I’ve heard some call it :-)
Glad you feel the end result is great!
Yvette Bielert
