Photographing smoke art is one of the most rewarding aspects of home photography. We've all seen the wispy strands that float and glide through the air, but it's not until these trails are frozen in time do we see the true beauty and elegance of their construction.
In many images it's possible to see a subject within the smoke.
The advantage of smoke art photography is that - compared to water droplets - the patterns take longer to form so it's easier to judge when to take the shot. It's when the scene is viewed on the screen that the true diversity and uniqueness of the patterns is realised.
This was processed in Photoshop to highlight the patterns that exist within the formations.
The smoke was created by burning an incense stick against a black background. The light was a flashgun behind and below at an angle of 45° upwards with black card between the flash unit and the subject so that the light hit the smoke, but not the camera lens. The result was processed in Photoshop.

This is the last set of smoke art to be produced using this method. With so many uploads, it's difficult to create original ideas. So now I will be concentrating on a different and more creative method which I plan to have ready within a few months.

Close up feather shot. Found a chicken feather in a box of free range eggs this morning. It was all mangled up and squashed, so I thought I’d try and highlight the beauty of this feathers structure. What came out was a eerie and peaceful shot.
A 1/6 plate tintype which marks the second appearance of these women in the Canajoharie Album. The plate has some deep creases which have created those whisps of relflected light across the photo during the scanning process - the image is in otherwise very good condition.
Whisp is my grumpy little death spirit.
I just got him back from having his faceup and tattoo work done and I couldn't resist getting a few pics of him even though we are having

The previous style of smoke art was exrememly limiting. There was a given photo and it had to be made into a final image Although this stretched the imagination, it was not as creative as it could be.
This form of smoke art takes an idea and creates it entirely in the computer. This enables a vision to become reality and offers a greater scope of creativity.
My Val and Whisp arrived yesterday! This is a really nice set and I have no regrets about pre-ordering them. Their eyes are very good and even though they aren't pefect, I'm still pleased. A lot of people got Val's with badly mis-printed eyes, sadly. I would've thought Whisp would've been the one to suffer from that, considering all the wonky Gigi's. *shrug*

This steam engine, once pride of the rail line, is now only remembered for its defeat in the Great Race of Gettysburg at the hands of a new fangled motorcar. That race is considered by most historians to be the end of the steampunk age.
I couldn't resist one more from the shoot, it's those little whisps of clag that makes this one for me...

Florence Nightingale, OM, RRC (12 May 1820 – 13 August 1910) was a celebrated British social reformer and statistician, and the founder of modern nursing. She came to prominence while serving as a nurse during the Crimean War, where she tended to wounded soldiers. She was dubbed "The Lady with the Lamp" after her habit of making rounds at night.
Nightingale was a prodigious and versatile writer. In her lifetime much of her published work was concerned with spreading medical knowledge. Some of her tracts were written in simple English so they could easily be understood by those with poor literary skills. She also helped popularise the graphical presentation of statistical data. Much of her writing, including her extensive work on religion and mysticism, has only been published posthumously.

Picked this for the theme Framed.Spring is hatching here in Ireland. I was out yesterday in the lovely sunshine and could see lots of opportunities for pics in teh surrounding fields. Unfortunately lots of the fields are framed with 'barbed wire'. Certain parts of your anatomy are at risk should you decide to venture past.
I enjoy reading different kinds of books; sometimes I like histories or non-fiction works, and other times I like fiction or fantasy. Last year, I read a series of fantasy novels and novellas written by Patrick Rothfuss called The Kingkiller Chronicle. I won't go into details on the series (I leave that to you to check on Wikipedia). However, I was impressed with Rothfuss' characterization of some individuals in his fantasy world and I attempted to illustrate a scene. This one comes from Chapter 4 of The Wise Man's Fear and is of a character called Auri: 'Auri sat on a wide brick chimney, waiting for me. She wore the dress I had bought her and swung her bare feet idly as she looked up at the stars. Her hair was so fine and light that it made a halo around her head, drifting on the faintest whisper of a breeze.' Later in Chapter 102, her halo of hair is further described in this fashion: 'I came around a corner and saw Auri sitting on a chimney, her long, fine hair floating around her head as if she were underwater.' It was fun to take these literal descriptions and to interpret them with watercolours. It might be fun to try this again.
Amateur de lecture de différentes sortes de livres, parfois j'aime les histoires ou des œuvres de non-fiction, et d'autres fois j'aime des oeuvres de fiction ou du fantastique. L'année dernière, je l'ai lu une série de romans de fantasie écrits par Patrick Rothfuss appelé Chronique du tueur de roi. Je ne vais pas entrer dans les détails sur la série (je laisse cela à vous de vérifier sur Wikipedia). Cependant, j'étais impressionné par la caractérisation de Rothfuss de certains individus dans son monde fantastique et j'ai essayer d'illustrer une scène. Cette illustration c'est d'un personnage appelé Auri et elle vient du chapitre 4 de La Peur du sage : «Auri était assis sur une cheminée de briques, attendant pour moi. Elle portait la robe que je lui avais acheté et balança ses pieds nus comme elle leva les yeux vers les étoiles. Ses cheveux était si fine et légère qu'ils ont fait une auréole autour de la tête, à la dérive sur le moindre murmure d'une brise.» Plus tard dans le chapitre 102, son auréole de cheveux est décrite plus en détail de cette façon : «J'ai tourné un coin et je vis Auri assis sur une cheminée, ses longs cheveux fins flottait autour de sa tête comme si elle était sous l'eau.» C'était amusant de prendre ces descriptions littérales et de les interpréter à l'aquarelle. Peut être qu'il sera amusant de l'essayer de nouveau.
It really is staggering how fast the atmosphere changes as the mist comes and goes again and again.
