This week I am excited to share some information about 'how to proceed for Smoke Photography?'.
The setup for smoke photography is relatively simple. Here’s what you need:
a power controllable flash (in my case, it was an 580 EX II)
a DSLR with any good lens, though a macro lens would make things a lot easier.
Although you can get smoke from various sources, I feel incense sticks fit our needs best because they not only give out smoke with a good form and texture, they are also harmless.
A tripod is required if you are not comfortable at setting the focus and changing the composition. I always focus on the edge of the incense stick and recompose my frame for the smoke.
A table lamp pointed on the smoke helps in focussing.
A black cloth for the backdrop. Two small black sheets that can form a rectangular snoot and last but not least, a wireless trigger.
