"Womb Raider" - Fantasy in Smoke


dabar

Sandalwood incense smoke, lit from below with one strobe. The colors are as captured, with considerable saturation push. Comments are appreciated. Thank you.

Reminded me of an alien spem on the hunt... You me see something

The set-up, from top to bottom: Incense cone, Small pile of salt to dissipate heat from the incense, Acrylic cutting board, Alien Bees B-800 strobe with barn-doors set to a rectangle supporting the above elements.

 

There is a black cloth backdrop about 10 feet behind the incense. The object is to get the smoke so much brighter than the background that only the smoke shows. The "barn-doors" on the strobe provide what is esentially a black box to direct nearly all the light up through the smoke while limiting spill light on the background.

 

I hope this helps to clarify the lighting used.
