This is my take on capturing smoke.
Dean (deanosphotos) posted a series of pictures on this subject a couple of weeks ago and explained so well the equipment and technique I had to give it a go.
This isnt great for a first attempt but its a start and I shall certainly be trying more over the winter months.
Many Thanks to Dean for the idea and giving me something new to do on a cold sunday evening.

The only other shooting info is
Canon 430ex speedlite
Manfrotto tripod and head.
Stofen diffuser.
cable release
mirror
and a pack of Benson and Hedges!!

Hi paul

Great to see the fruits of your experiment. Certainly gotta sharper feel to this than mine did, i'm thinking i've possibly been coping with a back focus problem with lens or camera. Anyway's, like that you've kept it natural but hope that you will also be experimenting, with inverting and rotaing as well as adding a little colour in there too. I'm still to do some more yet, just have'nt got round to it. TFS

Dean.

this is great
seems like x ray bones
i like its shape and oblong frame

Hi Paul,
Great attempt, I tried this myself recently with an incense stick (not as much smoke as B&H but smells better!) and found it quite hard to capture the effect I wanted. So well done. Fascinating shapes captured in time.
