<h2>In pictures: spectacular smoke photography</h2>Naturally, the first thing you need is a smoke source. If you're looking to create abstract closeups, incense sticks are a good bet: they produce a steady, manageable stream of smoke that moves in slow, interesting tendrils. For the best results, shoot in complete darkness and use a black, non-reflective background, such as a sheet of cloth or non-glossy cardboard (the above photo has had the colours inverted). Also, the less breeze there is, the better. <i>Click to enlarge.</i><br><br><i>Click to enlarge.</i> [Source: http://sensitivelight.com]
