This is a great how-to. Thanks a lot for sharing. You covered everything briefly from setup to post processing and that really helps. Leave some to the creativity but at the same time you provided key concepts.

very in-depth how-to. i tried experiments with smke before but have not yet been too succesfull. the placement of the light source is definately the tricky part.

Hi Scott,

I was also thinking that it would be much more difficult but if you have “good quality smoke” (don’t know how this just sounded but ok) it get’s much easier. As I mentioned, the hardest is the lighting. The placement of the strobe can be specially difficult but with a little trial-and-error it’s manageable.

Give it a try and tell me how were the images like.

great how-to for a subject that looks like something very hard to capture… I will have to give it a try and see if I can get something usable, thanks.
