Up in Smoke

Day 200 of an Unknown Number

"Up in Smoke"

 

When I was asked to photograph a pot plant a while back, I made sure to keep one of the leaves for a later shoot. I dried it in a 1924 edition of The Romance of Evolution......just because. I wanted to emphasize the shape of the leaf, as it currently adorns countless shirts, hats and tattoos in California. The edge definition worked perfectly, though it looks as though I poorly Photoshopped the leaf on to another layer. I beefed up the power on the single strobe (located behind and beneath our subject) in order to pump some light through the leaf, thereby revealing the color as well. At the last moment I decided the image needed a little something. So, I grabbed my trusty can of smoke, and pffted a waft of smoke behind the leaf. Due to the relatively shallow depth of field, some areas of the smoke are in focus, while others are not. I like that. Thanks for drifting through!!
