Hints of This and That in the Smoke

PixelRabbit · Nov 20, 2012

These are the last of the smoke shots for now

These ones had "hints" of things in them to me.
Looking for different incenses etc... to burn for next time.
Would love to hear your thoughts

Thanks for taking a look!

cool, more smoke fun.

Now kill the noise, burn the back to black, adjust hue for fun colors and layer/mask different angles for fun.

so many things to do with smoke.

Where might I find your EXIF, Mrs. Rabbit?

I LOVE number 4. Looks like an animated face of "the bad guy" coming out of smoke. Very cool.

Very interesting. I think I like #2 and #4 best.

invert the smoke and see what you get...apply graduation to it....

Thanks Pally and Thetrue, actually I read a comment by Helen in another thread, she said proper settings for RAW is not the same as a proper settings for a jpeg I had been debating on shooting raw/jpeg for my stuff that is more "practice" and not destined for greatness so I shot these in both and pretty much just exported the jpegs with super minor tweaks, apparently the EXIF doesn't survive! I may play with the raws a bit though

EXIF is:
F8, 1/500 ISO 1600 TOTALLY could have used lower ISO to avoid a lot of the noise.

Those are really cool. Funny that I was actually planning on doing a smoke photo shoot tonight.

Thanks Nandakumar and Demers

Demers, did you end up playing with smoke? How did it go?

Unfortunately was called out for work so I didn't get a chance to and have been busy the rest of the week. I'm planning on giving it a shot this weekend though.
