Post Smoke

My first attempt at Macro.

Shot in the kitchen, smoke from incense burner, black cloth as back drop and two lights each side front light and pointing to the back of the cloth.



Converted to B&W in PS.

I am finding the Macro lens really hard to work with but its early days yet, hope to get out at the weekend to give it a good trial.

Comments most welcome.

Thanks,

Gary.

Nice. I like the way the smoke billows from bottom left to top right.

It's nice. It seems like a faster shutter speed could have been used. Nice lighting. When I first considered working with smoke photography, I found this article to be really helpful.
