Mesh | Macro Mondays
We had the same topic some years ago and I submitted an image, similar to this one but with a different camera and macro lens in 2018, it's here, if you're interested -:

It did occur to me that maybe I should try and work a different idea this time - but this is so much fun that I could not resist trying again.
I took a sheet of steel mesh similar in size and gauge to what you might find used to manufacture kitchen sieves. I shaped the sheet to a curve and then lit an incense cone underneath. The smoke slowly wafts through the mesh and gentle currents of air created by waving my hand causes interesting eddies and patterns of smoke to form and filter through the mesh. Lighting and focus are critical and a dark background is needed. As the environment is quite dark a high ISO is needed to maintain reasonable shutter speeds.
Many thanks for all views and fav's - and particularly comments.
All are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!
