[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Just another home experiment.

Incense smoke. (I used two sticks, you can see the separate streams coming from the bottom and mixing at the top)
Used a wireless flash to light it from behind against a black background (you can't see the smoke if you use a white background)
inverted image in photoshop and added a hue/sat adjustment layer (set to 'colorize') for the blue tones.
cropped and framed.

Hi Simon
A very successful experiment - those blue tones are really striking. And a good note on how you did it. Most impressive.
cheers

Hi Simon,
This is beautiful! I wouldn't have thought it was smoke without reading your note. Thanks for sharing how you achieved this artwork. The cool blue and black tones combined with the natural curves give a very sensual mood. Well done!
