1, 3, 5, and 9 stand out the most to me. Very cool. Care to explain your lighting technique?

[Scorper]

[Raymate]

amazing :)

[Matoch]

This looks absolutely amazing.

When you say you light it form behind how exactly do you do that? Where exactly is the light in relation to the smoke, background, and camera.

Thank you,

James

Not sure about the leg placement, but I do see a female figure. Good eye!

EXCELLENT shots! I need to try this sometimes, but my question, is about the smoke. Do you use like a cigar to produce such thick smoke? I also assume focus is tough as the smoke moves front to back...

[Anthony J Howe]

Amazing shots and amazing colours. Look long enough and you begin to see shapes of different things in the images.
Such as the 4th shot I begin to see the shape of a woman and in the sixth shot I begin to see the shape of a man..

classy...
