Best of 135! by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

Best of 135!

Biggest problem was getting the smoke to happen! Then a bit of Affinity magic on the candle - wait until you see tomorow's!!!
@ingrid01 Here you go Ingrid! As promised the best of the failures

Peter @pcoulson thank you for sharing your 'how to' set up, which I followed. Now I need to learn what each of the settings on the flashgun do, rather than rely on trial and error.

It may be a failure, but I think it’s great! The smoke looks as if it’s been rolled!

ooooh that's fab!

Stunning!

you should get a stick or two of incense, any 'flavour' you want, you lit it once and blow out the fire and it will just keep spewing smoke then you will have a lot of smoke to photograph. no need to blow the candle each time. aces on this shot.
