Another go at getting this effect, this time with my new ring light.

Pocketful of joy today, I have a new collegue at the bookshop and sheis a lovely lady

That new ring light is turning out to be an inspiration for you! How do you get the smoke so well?

[Anne]

Looks like smoke? Glad you have a lovely new collegue

[Rob Z]

What a masterfull result! The lighting is just so good

[narayani]

Interesting effect but I prefer the tulip

[Annie-Sue]

The closeness of the smoke to the rounded tulip bloom (and the lighter picture overall) makes the tulip better for me: there's more enigma about it.

A light ring. I really need to look into some better external lighting.

[Diana]

Beautifully captured.

Lovely smoke patterns

[Issi Bannerman]

Has to be viewed on black! Love it.

[Casablanca]

Very low key......I must be getting older.......can't make it all out! But I see smoke! And smoke is hard to photograph well, so good job.

Nice

Thank you all for feedback and critiques, it's all a learning curve.

The smoke is in fact milk, swirling through water around a suspended, or anchored, flower.
