I love the color and I love the pattern, or maybe lack of pattern, I'm not sure. Is there a thread where you explain your technique?

Is there a thread where you explain your technique? I think there is actually quite a few but its pretty simple for the most part. All I did was set up a black backdrop and lit some incense. I had my flash directly on the left side shooting through the smoke. Post I usually Add alot more blacks but that may just be my tech since I probably dont get the exsposer just right. then just change the colors. Some people invert the colors as well but everytime I do it, it looks funny. The Gear:

I was outside at the time and it was just the slightest bit breezy so of course it didn't work. I didn't have any incense either, so now I know that the most obvious source of smoke is the way to go.
