First attempt with shooting smoke (12 images)
After getting my new SB-600 flash and wireless flash trigger a few months ago, I decided to experiment with some cool off-camera flash shots. I watched a few youtube videos and then set up a mini studio in the kitchen (see photo). It was a lot of fun and yielded some nice results for my first time! The camera and flash were both in manual mode. As I continued to shoot, I varied the shutter speed, f/stop and flash power until I started getting the results I wanted. The best results were achieved at 1/200sec and f/13. Basic editing was done in Lightroom 3 and then changed the levels slider in Gimp to get a pure black background.

I really like 10. In fact, I like it so much that I might ask for a print to add to the ol' b&w collection. I want to like 4, but it's too much like a rib cage; getting a bit dark there, Boo.
