First time Smoke shots for C&C (Yes, I know, it's smoke...)

inaka · Mar 30, 2011

Finally got an off-camera wireless trigger system for my Sb-600 flash.
Like probably everyone else on the planet, I shot some pics of smoke. :mrgreen:

I know, I know, it's been done before. But I wanted to play around with these in Photoshop to hopefully mix up the subject matter a bit.

C&C is welcome, thanks.

Great shots! I think they could be a little brighter though

Thanks, I think you're right.
Especially the Skull & Crossbones one...it could be brighter. Thanks.

The second one is superb. I'd probably even put that on my wall. They look like tulips!

The smoke pictures don't usually do a lot for me, but these are really creative. The second one is my favorite, but I think they look more like irises.

Oh man, these are EXCELLENT! You got really creative and they worked awesomely.

I'm definitely going to try this one time

Thanks, guys!

I know NOTHING about flowers.
I knew the smoke here looked like flowers but had to google the name of any purplish flower that it resembles...I may have picked the wrong type. oops. LOL
