Smoke Flower

First time playing with smoke. Figured this would be a more original take on the current theme since smoke does flow. I liked how this one looked like a flower and gave it a red filter. How did I do?

[Jill]

I find it enchanting! I really love the red.

[Jeff Walker]

@jillmstruss thanks Jill! Smoke is really hard to do... you get a lot of shots of crap for 1 or 2 decent shots

[Sandra]

Rreally nice, great processing. Well done Jeff!

[Sue Wilde]

Nicely done. Smoke is a horror to shoot

[Jeff Walker]

@sanfil thank you Sandra :)

@swilde thanks! and yes it IS!

[Leonie Mogridge]

Another good smoke shot......have now added that to the ever growing list of "things to try"

[Jeff Walker]

@onie I used a flashlight on the smoke. I couldn't get anything usable until I decided to try the flashlight. There were a few others I got that I liked, but this one had layers to it that I really liked.

[Leonie Mogridge]

@jsw0109 Thanks for the tip. I have a flashlight as part of my photography kit!!

[Anna]

wow, looks great, i think it's so hard to capture its flow that i never yet tried it!)

[Jeff Walker]

@nyusha thank you! I had no idea it was hard until I tried it LOL. This smoke is coming from an incense cone... probably not the best thing to use as a smoke source... the sticks are probably better.

[Sean O'Neill]

This is amazing. I need to have a go at this sort of shot. + F for me.

[Mr Foxon]

Hypnotizing. I love the layers. I would have this on my wall, brilliant. Obvious Favourite!

[Reva]

Very cool abstract Jeff! Very graceful forms. I like the colour you chose too. :)

[paula goff]

i would not have guessed this was smoke! i too like the colors.

[Chris]

I like this one alot. I too would not have guessed it was smoke...

[Rikkie-G]

Awesome capture - looks like silk!

[Donna St.Pierre]

Nice soft flowing feeling. Like the colors!

[hiquerr]

It's very beautiful and abstract. Great work.

[Donna]

very dramatic, this has a tremendous impact. Black and red abstract!

[Jeff Walker]

@seanoneill thank you Sean! I appreciate the fav! I'll warn you, none of us are joking when we say this is really hard

@mrfoxon WOW! Thank you!!! That made my day!

@reva thanks Reva!

@paulaag I think shooting in the dark with a flashlight is what allows smoke to be a bit more magical.

[Jeff Walker]

@superbeyotch thanks Chris!

@rikkieg thanks! that's part of what I like about it... its open to interpretation... I can definitely see silk now that you mention it

[Jeff Walker]

@d4photo13 thank you Donna!

@hiquerr thank you!!

@pointnshoot28 wow, thank you Donna!! :)

[Paul Myers]

Very nice layered look to this. Kind of like flowing drapery.

[Jeff Walker]

@webfoot thank you Paul!

[Laurie Higgins]

It really does look like a deep red flower, or flowing silk. Great job on a bucket list personal challenge.
