For Amin - some smoke.

As I'd mentioned it on another thread, and Amin wanted to see them, here are some smoke shots I took in the garden of the holiday cottage we stayed in a few weeks ago.

This was from an Incense stick, and taken using an off camera flash below the smoke. The breeze outside created some interesting shapes, but also meant focusing was a nightmare!

Most of these are either full frame or cropped to about 75% of frame at most.

Love these Dan, think eveyone should have a go.
Maybe it should be a future competition!

Love the simplicity of nos 3 & 4.
No 2 looks like some sort of farm machinery.

Absolutely fascinating . They look great. What a nice set of images. Love all of them but the first one for me is just superb . Those curls and twists just make it absolutely captivating

No 2 one looks like an animal/insect/bug

3 and 4 love for the simplicity of it, the fine lines that the smoke produced makes it very appealing.

Great captures Dan ,
