Around this time I like the cinnamon or spicy smells, I really like pine or cedar this time of year. But we do A LOT of sandlewood and nag champa. Years ago when we made and sold tie-dyes at festivals we sold incense as well and found a wonderful vanilla. But the only way we could get it was to buy in bulk, and we don't need that much anymore!

i really like how you captured the motion and used a black background to bring it out, but you could improve it by using an all black background-the bit of white in the corner distracts from the subject.

Oh, I am glad to hear that! I Had a couple more shots of this but liked the smoke the best in this one. I appreciate that you came and took another look!

light at the right is a bit distracting. Rest is awesome....

Thanks for the comments, I think I may revisit this shot and see what I can do about that light!

Yes this is very cool...it might have been better without the light from what looks like a doorway in the right corner...very cool shot either way!

i love the smoke in this picture and how you captured it... but it seems really busy which is making it really difficult (at least for me it is) to see the subject matter in this picture other than the smoke. the only piece of advice that i could think of is that for next time maybe try to make sure that the background contrasts with the subject matter so that it will be more clear (dark colored subject matter then use a light colored background or some lighting to make the subject stand out more and vice versa).

coffeenoir In reply to dancingblackkitty13 [2010-12-04 14:47:35 +0000 UTC]

I have gotten a lot of similar comments on this shot, so I think I am going to re-edit it some. Thanks for the comments and the time!

hitake22 [2010-12-01 20:01:04 +0000 UTC]

How'd you get it to smoke like that?

One thing though, I think it's TOO blended in.
Took a while for me to figure it out and I still haven't figured out what everything is.

I don't know if you meant it to be that way.
Nevertheless, I like it.
Good job.

coffeenoir In reply to hitake22 [2010-12-04 14:50:36 +0000 UTC]

Thanks I appreciate the comments, the smoke is coming from the dragonfly bottle which is a incense burner. I think there may be a re-edit on the way. I seem to be geting a lot of the same comments on it. Thanks again!

The smoke is indeed awesome, but it seems to hide in the background a little. Other than that, very cool.
