Smoke Dancer by Lynne Rogers Harris (f/8, 1/125, ISO 100)
I had been wanting to try my hand at shooting smoke as I had seen some really cool images. So, I bought some incense sticks, set up my black backdrop, used two flashes pointed at the smoke from the sides, and started shooting.
I learned quickly that too much of the flash was hitting the background but my setup just didn’t allow me any other options.
At any rate, I pulled the image into Photoshop and played a little and still wasn’t very happy with the result. I then “inverted” the colors and voila. Suddenly, to my eyes,
I saw a sketch of a dancer and fell in love with it. I hope you can see the dancer, too.
