Smoke Art IV/VI

Posted by Shuva Brata Deb (Bangalore, India) on 26 April 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

..continuing from my yesterday's post I call this as "Flower of the smoke".

This image of smoke from an incense stick has been posted 180 degrees rotated and also cropped ("Cropping and rotation is the most important post processing in smoke art photography"). Another important thing to do while taking smoke shots in a closed room (to prevent air from blowing the smoke away) is to blow very light short blows of air from your mouth just to get that special and lucky pattern. The next important thing is patience.
