"How I Get The Colors"

This is for those of you that want to know how these smoke photos are

done.

 

I hope this is useful to those who wish to give smoke photography a try.

 

Since so many ask how I get the colors, I felt this was the best way

to respond to their question.

 

I realize that this is NOT A PHOTO... But, I feel that it does satisfy

a photographic purpose.

Thank you for sharing your techinques, I have been playing with lights recently and now I have something else to try. I have been wanting to get some smoke shots but didn't consider inscense to get it and I didn't want to buy cigaretts as I quit almost 3 years ago and was afraid it would be too tempting. Thanks again.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Wow - I just commented on Fire Spirits before looking at the rest of your portfolio. They're all so beautiful & thank you for elaborating on your technique.

I am glad you share this technique with us, I have been phootographing smoke for a while now and I never manage to get the color gels to show up on the smoke.

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge. Too few people seem to remember that sharing is one of the greatest and most appreciated aspects of this site. I have not yet tried any "SMOKE" photography but I'm currently working on a photo involving "FOG" and your willingness to share this information may have added a very interesting change to my photo! (We'll see!)

Keep Shootin', Dig Your Work! With Respect, Anthony

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I had fun viewing your creation of "Smoke Dance"---so mysterious and empowering. Best regards, Tanya.

Come here as I see you in Photosig (my username there is jandrade). I am amazed by the colors and shapes that you have in your photos! And thanks for the tips!
