Photographing Smoke

[Jayson]

Denise you and I must be on the same page. I tried that last weekend for the first time with a candle. Didn't work out so well and just received my incense sticks in the mail today. I saw an elephant also for the record.

This was alot of fun (joint effort between me and my daughter)! The incense worked well. The smoke you see above was unaltered. I didn't know how to do the mirror thing in CS5, so my daughter did that for me and just cleaned up a few of the very light smoky areas on the outside of the main stream.

I am looking forward to doing more and applying various other pp effects. Also, looking forward to seeing what you come up with! There was an article on it in Petersen's Photographic magazine Vol. #3 recently ...that's what got me motivated to try it!
