Abstract Smoke Photography

I’ve been staying up late until 5AM again working on expanding the horizons of my photography. And no these are not induced by drug use…
These are all done on my kitchen table with a fat slice of mushy bread as my incense holder (I didn’t have any clay or play-doh). Post-production is done in photoshop to create the colors. I used a black background from a 50″ reflector (black cloth side) and an AB1600 strobe snooted down to minimize light on the black backdrop. Camera was on a tripod hooked up to a Pocket Wizard for remote firing, which allowed me to play with the smoke as it rose. I used my 5D Mark II for better cropping (since smoke is all over the place) with manual focusing @ f14, 1/200, iso200.
