Holy Smokes!!!

Ever since I started photography, I've been trying to play around with this. I think this is my fourth set and fourth attempt in creating the Art of Smoke. I normally do this when I have nothing to shoot or my mind is playing or I am bored.

Today I thought I would do something different to my usual approach with photographing and post processing smoke as an art subject.

I ended up shooting around 150 and because I was aiming for a certain texture and shape, only 10 of these passed. Also, a pack of cigarettes was consumed in just a matter of an hour and a half. I smelled like an ashtray.

WARNING: CIGARETTE SMOKING IS DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH.

I really love these. How did you get the colour? Was it photoshop?

Wow, it looks more like glass than smoke. Me like.

These photos are spectacular, very creative! Me like too

Amazing... really well done!

excellent. Would never have guessed it was cigarette smoke. very clever

But how did you do it?

Utterly brilliant, Me like too and me want to know how do it too Why have we all started talking like kids

Excellent shots!!

I would prefer they didn't have the plastic wrap filter applied to them...but other than that they look realy good. FYI - you can also use incense sticks for a less hazardous (and cheaper) smoke source.

Wow, it makes me think of "cleartoy" candy !!!

Wonderful photos, and a great idea!

I second this.. that's something I'd like to play around with.. I understand if you want to keep the process to yourself, but how about a general overview to get us started?!

Fantastic work!
