Poor attempt at smoke photography.
I sneaked upstairs while they were playing. But they saw me. What you're doing?! They helped me set it up, black background, incense stick, lamp light on the incense stick. I don't have a strobe or flash, so I used a torch which was held by my eldest. I made a couple of shots, but the middle son was switching the lamp on and off, the youngest was trying to get closer and closer to the incense stick. Then they wanted to press the shutter. Then the tripod started to wobble. And, anyway, I tried. I even left the incense stick in the photo otherwise there would hardly be any smoke left!
Ooh ! the trials and tribulations of having three little ones -- no time is your own !! Love the colours in the smoke - looks like an octopus in the deep and dark sea .
