Day 169|Unhealthy Habit II

No smoke series guys, last one from the other night. Didn't get that many great shots, think my lighting was off.

For those that are wondering, the colours are added in post processing. It's all grey from the camera, but after applying a gradient filter, you get some really neat colours.

For those who haven't seen it yet, Gavin Hoey has a great simple tutorial on youtube:

Love this one... the colours look great :) Smoke is hard to do! I tried a while back and the smell of the incense was so gross lol... I hate incense smell.

I like the shape of the smoke, it almost looks like a symbol/ letter from an exotic alphabet.

All the colours of a rainbow. Until you said you'd used Photoshop for the colours, I'd pictured mini coloured stage lights beneath each stick. :)
