How to make abstract smoke.

[Balinor]

Hello friends!

Abstract photography of smoke is not something new and unfamiliar. This article will give you an example how to make your photo abstraction with smoke.

Let’s begin

The first part is the longest. The best suited source of smoke is a Chinese aroma stick. You can find one fairly easy in every Chinese store. One more thing – the scent of the burning stick is of no relevance. However, it is better that you enjoy it since you will inhale a lot of it during our session – and if the smell copes with you the better.

After you have acquired everything you will need to start inventing the set of the photo shoot itself in order to be able to freeze the smoke movement. Having enough light is paramount for this endeavor since you should be able to shoot with high speed – 1/200 or more. Remember: the shooting process has to be done using a black background and the light should not be aimed directly at the camera in order to avoid any flashes. For the purpose you can use the daylight or a strong artificial source. You can experiment with the light source as much as you want as long as it will not prevent you speed shoot – remember you 1/200 speed or more. For the background a piece of black cloth or cardboard can be used.
