super quick smoke photography tutorial with a dslr camera & flash


 A super quick tutorial on how I captured smoke as a camera project on a rainy day :)

experimenting with smoke photography using an incense stick

placed the incense stick on a table and used a black bedsheet as a background - placed the flash 90deg to the right of the incense and tried to capture movement in the smoke

stopped taking shots after 15mins as the room fills quickly with smoke and makes it hard to focus

post edit - blue colour filter and duplicated and flipped image horizonally 

have a try yourself - the shapes are really unique and can be fun capturing :)
