Hasn’t been long since I Dabbled with this idea of smoke photography. Shooting smoke wasn’t as easy as I had initially thought it would be. Getting the lighting and the amount of smoke to be just the right amount was a big challenge. Eventually I did get some really great shots.
Here’s the link to the set on my Flickrstream which contains my smoke photography shots:

I tried this, and started out with not enough light and i wanted to shoot myself. Plus I had my friends trying to help me so that was just bad. Then I went back with more lights and tried to do it again and it was AMAZING! The smoke pictures I took are still some of my favorites.

Someone writes about a great way to take photos of smoke; it’s right there for you to read and learn from.

i use cigarette smoke, just as long as you remember to actually smoke the cigarette, it lets out quite a thick stream of smoke. light manipulation, such as wafting with a sheet of paper can produce some amazing effects. Plus, cigarettes are much easier to find than joss sticks when you live at least 15 miles away from the nearest chines supermarket.

I think the images are pretty cool looking.

I would have never guessed they were smoke unless you told me,

this is really stupid! not really the article but i really think that the title should be changed! there is nothing good that will ever come from smoking and the title is really gay! 90% of men and 80% of women who suffer from lung cancer got it from smoking. four out of the five leading causes of death is caused by smoking. every 8 seconds someone dies from the use of tobacco. the people who have died or who are dying from it have or had family members standing around their bedsides holding their hands as they watched their loved ones lay there not doing anything with their eyes closed like theyre in a coma. anyone who is for smoking reads this and does not have a change of heart should really think about how they would feel if they were someone who has lost their grandmother, grandfather, 2 aunts, countless friends, and still have to watch their diabetic father who got hepatitis c from just doing his job and having to do chemotherapy already for that (oh and he got it by breaking up a fight in a prison, not by doing anything else), 2 brothers, an uncle who has already had a heart attack and quadruple bypass surgery, another uncle who now has cancer, and other people who they are very close to. you should think of me. you should think of your family members and the family members of the ones around you who smoke. oh and i dont know of very many people who would like to look at pictures of smoke anyways.
