Macro Monday - Smoke

I prefocused using a 3" post-it note, so this should be within the 3" rule.

CC Rainbow - Blue

This is the first time I've ever tried to photograph smoke, and I don't have a flash so it is a little bit challenging. I do have my new SmallRig macro light which I used here. I don't know how to lower the ISO and still have a nice shot. Thank goodness for Lightroom DeNoise! I'm going to keep working on it, though. Also, I've got quite a sensitivity to fragrances so I was reluctant to use incense but I found this particular aroma quite nice. No headache, so far, and the house smells wonderful. : )
