Smoke Photography

      Smoke Photography is a very unique photography, every time you take a snap you can see different forms of smoke.

      Photographing the pattern and movement of smoke has always attracted, who love capturing artistic images. It is a challenging job, because the smoke is not under your control and you have to very quck in order to capture the movement and pattern of smoke.

      Smoke art photography- for this am searching for techniques and tips. Finally i used a mixture of my own method as well as techniques picked up from others. The idea is to experiment and use which ever process you are comfortable with. You may even find a better way to do it. The important thing is that you must get the perfect picture.

      For this you need a Camera, a tripod, camera flash, dark background (probably black) and a few household products will do the job.

        

          Here am sharing the entire shoot step- by- step. I used my own way so you can try different techniques. In order to capture a decent smoke photography you need to remember four important factors. Those are Fast Shutter Speed, Small Aperture,Low ISO and Light.

    With all that in mind, set your camera accordingly based on its capabilities and keep black background. Now place the incense stick slightly away from the background.

Now we will see the setting for smoke photography. I used  my Nikon D3100 

• Camera mode  - Manual
• Shutter Speed 1/200
• Aperture f7
• ISO - 100
• Manual Focus
• Flash

    Here am sharing different shades of smoke photos shot by me. I edited with little colors on the smoke only, to give a unique look. 

   Hope you like it, please give your valuble suggessions and feedback. I will come-up with more updates on smoke photography.
