Dry Ice!

Hi there all. It has been quite sometime since the last post, I ll blame the hectic work schedules and in some effect, laziness for the same.
Anyway, today we discuss, Dry Ice. Frozen Carbon Dioxide, when made into pellets to be used for cooling duty, is known as Dry Ice. 

Dry Ice is of interest to us photographers since it produces thick smoke, when it comes in contact with water.

And the best bit, the smoke is cold, and heavier than air, so it flows!

This gives the opportunity to use the flowing smoke creatively. It can be used to provide artificial smoke in photos, to be used to as a background or otherwise. 

So, there you have it, the secret to thick billowing smoke in the photos. Have fun it. Be careful though, it is carbon dioxide, so, preferably do not inhale a lot of it, and experiment in an open space.

Cheers!!

Smoke Spirals

Smokes I

Hi there!!
Often we come across varied photos of smoke and are simply awestruck at their beauty and randomness. They have weird shapes, but are very fluidic in nature and have a sense of tranquility in them. And sometimes, some appear to be simply supernatural. Here are some of my spoils.
In this post am putting up the solo smoke photos. These have been achieved from incense sticks, mainly!
The black background and a light to the smoke makes the whole thing stand out better.

Experiment is the key, and go on and shoot!

I know, some of you, my dear readers, might be pondering, as to what and why is there so much of noise and why has something not been done about them. The thing is, the noise creeps in when you try balancing a moderate ISO, around 800 and 1600 here along with the absence of the traditional way to light the smoke up. Check out the link in the beginning of the page to find out the simpler and cheaper way to the lighting. The noise is the trade off.
Let me know about your views!

Cheers!
