Very nice shots. Digital Camera magazine by any chance? :lol::lol::lol:
If it was I did a couple myself but posted it in Critique, should have come here really, what did you do to get more of the swirling effect? when I tried it either sent the smoke all over the place even though it was a gentle wave of the hand, or it stayed more vertical. But then there is never going to be two same shots, which is cool.

U8myufo, try holding a teaspoon just over the tip of the stick, either way can create some nice patterns.

Yes it was, i just blew through the smoke to the background, so i think the swurling happened when the current bounced back of the backdrop.
