Coloured Smoke

[oreo5000]

My first attempt at smoke macro's.

I used a couple of incense sticks, a big bucket with a black car mat as the backdrop and an off camera SB600 from behind to the left a little.

Coloured in PS.

Well the second image is actually out of camera and I just bumped the saturation, the incense I used was purple so thats where the colour came from.

The pink one was first inverted (image - adjustments - invert), and then coloured using colour balance (image - adjustments - colour balance)

Both great images, although I think the 2nd one is the better of the 2 What aperture did you use to shoot these?

Cracking, seen a few of these recently and these are equally as good. Really very good. Print out and frame - Number 2 especially.
