playing with smoke
« on: February 16, 2015, 06:05:19 pm »

Did ja ever try to focus on smoke...



I haven't come close to fully figuring out the technique aside from side lighting but I put a tilted piece
 of glass behind the smoke to give it a path to follow making achieving a focus point somewhat easier.

 Gotta figure out a way to introduce more light as I had to bump the ISO to 400, my camera is noisy
 at that figure. The glass reflected the dirty background cloth.
 f/3.5 is too narrow and SS .4 is too slow...is anyone good at this stuff...need advice.

You do seem to like challenges, and this is another exceptional result.
Keep 'em coming!

Now, try to combine orchids with smokeā€¦
Seriously, it's a beautiful shot and a lot better than the usual smoke photos. Initially, I thought about something like northern lights.
