I really like your photography, you seem very talented imo. What was the item you used in the apple/piano to give the appearance of smoke? I realise it's a long shutter with an object dragged around the scene, just wondering what the object was. :D

Thanks for the feedback, the smoky looking stuff if produced by the edge of the snoot I made for the flash light showing through. I took aluminum foil and wraped it around the flash light and it extended about five inches from the lens of the flashlight. It was quite back accident that I saw the affect from dipping the light to low in the picture. I adjusted it so more could be shown and that's what you are seeing. The edge of the snoot on the flashlight made with aluminium foil. :)
