First go at smoke

Hi

This is my first attempt at this. I used a single, bare flash camera left against a black background, then inverted the image. Going to dry again with a touch of light to the back of the spoon.

Focus looks good.

Loose the spoon and get the smoke in the middle and you're on a winner...and possible a crisp BG.

Much better than my first attempts

Cheers.

That's come out really well it's nice and crisp which for me is what makes this type of photo

Thanks very much Andy and Matt.

I totally agree the image is a bit unbalanced and needs the smoke to be more central, but the spoon is an integral part of how I see the shot, so I'll be keeping that.

Just got to make it better.
