Art Smoke 2.0a

Art Smoke 2.0a


Finally got my file server hooked up and now I settled down in my new home, I can get back to "flickr'ing" again. :)

I took this one as part of a series of inscent abstract smoke art a while ago shortly before my move. I refined the technique a little bit by restricting the light to a "flat" beam sweeping across from the side instead of having a bare flash lighting up unwanted parts. This results in much sharper images due to the better controlled focus, and also less dust particles caught. This makes the retouching job so much easier. Again, this is far from perfect, and I'm still trying to figure out how to improve upon it.

More on this on my blog later.

Strobist: one SB600 on camera right fired remotely with ebay triggers, DIY "barn doors" alike flaps attached to flash.
