    Exclamation My first attempt at a smoke picture.

    As Hanuka is underway, we have a lot of candles and fire around, so I decided to try my hand at some smoke photography...

    I like this a lot. What was the light source? How did you meter?

    Great work.

    This has the look of a flash photo of smoke against a dark background, then inverted.

    good catch SmartWombat, I had a flash from behind and to camera right. I shot this all manual, with ebay triggers. Then I inverted it in Photoshop.

    Thank you all for the comments, and ron - It's actually quite common to invert a smoke picture, so not as clever as it would seem, but thank you!
