This is beautiful, if you don't mind Id love a few pointers. would be greatly appreciated. Wondering about how to get coloring of the smoke, lighting and exposure. Even if you do this at the end of the competition. i would like to try something like this. Sorry if this is a little unorthadoxed. but i really admire this piece.

I agree with Sheridan . Is this real smoke ? . Too perfect to be true .

@Sheridan: Hi there, I'm following Gavin Hoey's tutorial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2d281_HoEQ) to get this result. What I did in the post processing step is increasing the contrast to make the smoke sharper. I just realise that the smoke colour becoming bluish afterward, but my guess, it could be caused by playing with white balance on the camera. Have a go and see what you can get Hope it helps

@roon: Fortunately, it's a real smoke

well done

Thank you, i have had a watch and i'll have a litle play around. At least my house will smell nice after this. lol.

Very nice composition, it reminds me a woman, like it, good luck!

Very Very Beautiful and a nice execution

Magical, very nice color, good luck!

That's a very interesting shot - just wondering if keep letting the smoke flowing, and using slow shutter speed. It might make ocean of smoke well done

Perhaps I'll try that. Thank you.

wonderful
