Up in smoke.

@tirediron here is a bts of my set-up for these. Using the Flashpoint 200 (Godox AD200) flash and the flashlight is just to help with focusing. I am handholding the camera (Canon 5D III and the Sigma 105mm macro)

Thanks @Jeff G, it is fun and interesting to see what you can capture as the smoke has a mind of it's own.

If I may nitpick, not on the photos themselves, but the script of the watermark is something I'm having to actively ignore in order to appreciate the flow of these images. I know it is just there for online posting, but just relocating the watermark in some images to a dark area would improve the first impressions for me.

Thanks for the input. I have it added on export from LR to that corner every time. It's set up that way and I don't even think about it. You are correct, it is for online/social media posting.

Great set.

I really like doing smoke photos. It's a nice relaxing shoot.

Thanks Zombie, yeah it is relaxing but you can end up with a LOT of images if you aren't careful.

Did the smoke alarm ever go off?

No, I was banished to the garage to do this so that it would not go off. I did crack the garage door so that the smoke would dissipate.
