Technique Challenge 62 - Smoke Photography begins today!

September 25th, 2016
Thanks so much to everyone who voted for my swinging pocket watch in the Technique Challenge 61 - Rear Curtain Sync challenge, and to Debbie @deborah63 for hosting the last challenge and for helping me figure out how to do that on my camera.

For this next Technique Challenge, I am going to challenge you to do Smoke Photography. I'm fascinated by the smoke photos I've seen here on 365, now we can learn how to do it together.

Here's a few instructional videos to help you figure it out.

The challenge will run from today Sunday, Sept. 25, until Wednesday, Oct. 5, to give you plenty of time to figure it out. Photos must be taken in that time frame. Tag your photos technique62. Voting will run Oct. 6-9 with the winner being announced Oct. 10.

Have fun. I hope you come up with some great smoke photos.

Great choice Lisa. I wish I had viewed your first link prior to shooting well over 150 images today. I may have to have another go at editing now.

Would a picture of smoking brakes qualify??? Don't have that picture, but inquiring minds want to know.

@homeschoolmom I am not sure I have even tried this since 2011 when it was not a real success. Maybe I shall try again.
