I have always wanted to do this and I think it came out pretty well.

It's so clean looking, no noise. I tried to photograph smoke twice and failed. All the photos were a hazy mess, too much noise. Just blah. Good job! What was your set up like?

These are awesome.. What were your settings for #1?

I use a Canon 20D with an 18-55mm kit lens. I was on an f5.6 at 1/100. You want to use a black back drop. A shirt, jacket or whatever you can find. You want the flash to hit the smoke from the back side so it does not show the back ground. You will also need to set the focus by looking at the tip of the incent and then taking it off Auto after you have set it. The auto will not focus on smoke. You can also set it on tungsten and you will get the blue effect.

Have fun!

This is great! How do you adjust the colors to make them like this?
