Smoke Photography made Simple
See Below.. a Budget Solution to try Smoke Photography.
I still cannot afford an external Flash for my camera. At the same time, I did not have a table lamp too :-). All I had is two torch lights. I was inspired after watching the above video from Gavin Hoey, and got desperate to try out . Thank you Gavin, for your wonderful ideas that you share!
My friend Nizam and I set out trying to shoot this using all we could afford to find.
Items we Used :
- Torchlight – 2 No’s
Medium size Torch Light – alternative to the Lamp shown in Gavin Hoey’s video
Pocket Torch Light – alternative to the External Flash / Speedlight
- Tripod
- To prevent camera shake since I was shooting at around 1/40th of a second f/6.3 @ ISO 800
- Incense Sticks – 2 No’s
- A mesh Card holder
- To hold the two incense sticks
- Laptop Stand - 1 foot high
- To place the mesh card holder and the incense sticks on it
- Lighter
- Plain Black Cloth
- To have contrast between the smoke and the background so the smoke stands out in the scene.
- To have a non distracting background
- Remote Shutter Release
- To release the shutter while holding the Torch # 2 .
- Some Cardboard Boxes
- To Hold the Torch #1
- Wrapping Tape
- To tape the black cloth on the wall and the Torch # 1 to the box
