"They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Oh, when your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3l001-zSA4

thanks guys for the comments..here is how to take this shot:
- the smoke comes from an incense stick under the candle
- to shoot smoke you need to place an off camera flash at 90 degrees to the lens to illuminate the smoke
- light the smoke with a light so you can manually focus the camera
- the most important thing is to put black blinders on the sides of the flash so the light will only flash on the smoke
- take your shots as soon as it appears the smoke is coming from the candle flame
- this only took 218 tries....thankful for digital cards
I love this song and love the shot even more, Jay. You are really good at this. I just read what you did to create this shot and will just enjoy your shots like this. 218 tries, wow. FAV
