Smoke photogrphy for c&c

Nice work. Did you use a single flash, camera left?
 
Yes, a single flash off camera, I'll post some photos of the setup soon (I keep them in the other pc)
 
Great shots and I'd love to see some setup pics too.
Well done!
 
Here's my setup:
Flash: off camera, 15cm next to the incese. The best power for MINE (nissin di622) was between 1/2 and 1/8.
Lens: 50mm f/1.8 with an aperture between f/8 and f/10
ISO:100 (we want less noise as possible)
I used no reflector although many tutorials raccomend it, i find that it only lightened the background and reduced the contrast (try if it's the case)

But the most important thing is this:

A very expensive part of your equipement :D
 
I use 2, and sometimes 3 snooted speedlights.

I like to have one right under the incense stick pointing straight up, #2 high camera right, angled down at about 45° and turned slightly more towards the camera than parallel to the black background, and if I use a 3rd light it is opposite the high light but lower and pointed level and parallel to the background.
