Smoke

January 08, 2013

Experimenting with smoke – trying to determine the best way to get the effect that I’m looking for.

This photo is a combination of 4 photos – separate ones for the smoke and face, illuminated with a flash when the candles were blown out, and two to get the dynamic range of the candles while lit. Why the combination? The candles unfortunately do not actually smoke a lot while they are lit, and put out a lot of smoke only for a short time after the flame is extinguished.

Incense, on the other hand, smokes for a long time after being blown out:
