A little experiment with smoke photography after I'd seem some pictures, I thought, well how hard can it be?
That's usually my first mistake, I sorta improvised with a torch and a lamp to light the smoke whilst I just kept pressing the remote trigger. Had no idea what I was seeing - I'd already pre-focused on a spot - or taking pictures of. I took 50 shots and came up 3 that I liked (and 1 composite).
Processing was in Photomatix and PSP7. First 3 shots taken in portrait and rotated. 4 is the same shot mirror imaged. All colourised in PSP7.
Canon EOS100D, Manual, f8, 1/200th, iso100, flash triggered
Thoughts and comments welcome and any useful tips on catching smoke (alas I didn'y have a stobe...)
To be honest I don't mind failing in anything I try, as Eddison once said (and I'm paraphrasing) I didn't fail, just found lots of ways not to do it
