Up In Smoke by laurentye

Up In Smoke

I'm sitting here with my office window open despite the snow and freezing temperature, in an attempt to clear out the smoke in my office.

I had the brilliant idea that I just absolutely needed to try taking a picture of smoke. Oh gosh it's hard. Well, I found it difficult... Maybe other people have advice. I took about fifteen pictures, with only three or four actually somewhat usable. Unfortunately this one was the best, but I won't count it as a successful try as it's not what I had in mind. I may try again in the future...

I had a really good day. Another amazing full night of sleep, and a very productive day which even included some exercise - and I discovered that now that I have a bit of a baby bump, using a hula hoop during exercise is so much easier (the bump sort of keeps it from falling)!

Wow, you did great!! I have tried with absolutely no success. Love the color of this too, great job! So glad you are feeling well!! I look forward to your progress. :)

Awesome, Lauren! It reminds me of a light saber! I definitely think "the force is with you!" Beautiful job! Glad to know you're sleeping better, too! =) That bump is going to grow very fast - soon!

Fascinating capture of smoke. Great shot. I don't like the smell of smoke either.

Awesome abstract. But I am not sure it looks like smoke. Love the whole thing and especially the colour.

I like it, it is a cool shot. As far as trying to photograph smoke this was my best attempt at it http://365project.org/indianabluejay/365/2011-09-20, it wasn't easy

Another subject I need to try out. I really like how the colour came out in this shot!

Well, it's not very smokey to me. Are you sure it isn't just a piece of blue ribbon that you've stretched, or maybe it's part of the hula hoop, which happened to be blue? ::scoffs at smoke which looks like ribbon attempt::

@sabresun really? well to me it looks like stretched out silly putty :D plus, i don't believe it looks like blue ribbon, cause I don't believe anything you say anymore ;p ...not after the Buddha Butter incident!
November 17th, 2011  
Ooo, this is pretty :]
November 17th, 2011  
I think this is a gorgeous shot
