Smoke art : Silk in the breeze


Picture too big or too small, check out the page size options at the top right of the page. Just set it once and forget it.
Another very early picture, I have always liked this one. It is one of few that expresses the gentle softness of smoke.

This is a picture of smoke from a burning incense stick. Most smoke appears grey to the naked eye but there is more in a plume of smoke than we see at first glance. For this type of smoke art photo it is necessary to make adjustments in the digital darkroom to allow the natural beauty of the smoke to be revealed.

By post processing the image and adjusting such variables as colour temperature, saturation, contrast and any other setting that seems fitting to the artist, a richer vision of smoke can be created.
