Back at work today after one day off. Was a steady day, one or two moments of craziness and frustrations... but on the whole not a bad day. Today's pic I was hoping to take a photo of some guests, but by the time I got home an showered after work, they were waling out the door. So I had to do another improvised indoor shoot.
So I'm just playin' today. I decided to see how hard/easy it was to shoot smoke... it'd be nice to have some lovely curls of smoke to compose into photos, or at least the ability to create them if I wanted to :)
So today's pic is just that - smoke. The smoke has come from one of those scented smoke cone thingies - I didn't crop it out so it looked more believable. This is a freaky shot - I put a red gel on my flash, and I had a blue gel on the wall behind. I focused on the cone, and then snapped a few shots to see how it looked, and this is what I got. I DID cut the blue out by reducing the blue channel output, as it looks better on black. But the smoke itself is 100% SOOC, honest to goodness.
