After the recent trouble with inky water challenge, I was going all out to capture some smoke.
When they say you need a lot of light - they are not kidding, this is lit with 1500W of halogen, and a bounce card one foot to the left. In case you haven't spotted it, this photo was shot upside down - as smoke rises. The shot glass is suspended from above, dangling by a simple bit of string and gaffer.
Black drop cloth, and a microphone stand to hold the stinky incense stick, and you're away (well about 50 photos later). Then it's just a little LightRoom to flip and color grade.
In case you're wondering, the "IQ Zero" shot glass is my dig at Alcohol and Tobacco.
