Ok... cliché but let me post some pictures I shot:

1)Smoke II

2)Rainbow smoke wheel

3)Jellyfishes

4)RGB

What do you think? Are they sharp enough?

i think they look great! how did u get the RGB ones?

 

[TheGreatGonzo]

Very cool!

 

[giulio1993]

thanks!
RGB are three real incenses, no copy and past. I worked on the colors using some hue & saturation adjustments masks in photoshop

ha sweet man. great job on all of them.

3 and 4 don't do much for me; 3 is very busy and 4 lacks symmetry (the blue streak is much thinner than the other 2) but I absolutely love 1 and 2!

Can you explain how you lit these? #2 is my favorite, and I'm assuming that its just the same photo mirrored and masked 4 different directions?

 

[thierry]

howd you do this? i can never get mine that goood

 

[UnderThePink]

Love #2! How did you do that?!?!

 

[MissCream]

In my opinion these are some of the best smoke pictures I've seen so far!

Love #2! How did you do that?!?!

The coloring and the layout are done with image editing software.

He made 3 copies, changed the color and rotation on the 3 of them, and put the 4 photos on a larger canvas.

Here is a smoke image I made using just 2 copies:

Not bad at all, i think i like the first one the most, just because its one source of smoke and inverted colors work great.

 

[giulio1993]

KmH's right, I made three copies and rotate. Then I created a new layer with a circular gradient (i tried all of them in photoshop and then chose which one i liked) and I selected "colour" in the blending mode of the layer. The third required more work: some selection and then hue&saturation masking.

Thank you everyone for appreciating!

Whoo, your "rainbow smoke wheel" is quite a success! I really, really like that one!

I love the first one. It just jumps out at you.
