Smoke - Our Daily Challenge

Hints for myself when doing this again (which I will because it was fun) - Manually focus on something 12" high, same spot incense will be. Then remove the focus object and set up incense. I tried shooting at different distances from the black background, and forgot to change the focus The result of this was a lot of deleted shots. If the smoke wants to rise straight upward, wave it with your hand, or put a roof above your set-up. Aperture of /5.0 with exposure of 1/250 seconds worked quite well but the results might be different with better focus or brighter lights. Work quickly because the air fills with smoke, with fuzzy results. Two incense sticks might provide interesting results.

If you want to try photographing smoke, this tutorial was recommended by PhotoStimulus and was very helpful. I found this tutorial helpful as well.
