More Smoke from a freezing cold garage

[BenAllen94]

Rain stopped any attempts of getting out so tried a few different settings on the flash and camera to usually this time. Managed to get more shots that I am happy with this time (4 out of 300 instead of 2 out of 200). Hope these please the same as my older ones.

A insent stick to get the smoke, the smoke is light by a single flash to the right or left of the stick, facing slightly towards the camera so you dont light up the background, a big sheet of black fabric. I put the camera on F7.1, 1/250th and iso 100 in manual mode. Get the camera to focus on the top of insent stick, switch it to manual focus so it doesnt change the focus point. I put the camera on a tripod but you dont have to. Maybe next time i might take a photo of it set up and put that one? Takes about 10-15mins to set up, then all you do is press the shutter and change the insent stick.
