For "get pushed" this week Mike Gifford challenged me to do some smoke photography which, he'd rightly pointed out, i'd never tried before...
Tonight was my second attempt and I think I managed to improve on a couple of things...
1. Whether it was @humphreyhippo's suggestion to use the 50mm lens, or whether i did a better job at aiming the flash, or whether the teeny tweaks i did in lightroom paid off, i think i ended up with better usable images tonight...
2. i picked up a more true black bristol board from an art supply store which i think has helped with the background somewhat...
The above was processed in nik silver efex, which gives me a much truer black for the background...
