Smoking (^ ^)

Hihi, here are something I learnt this week (^^).

I was inspired by "Sensitive light" and decided to capture some smoke. Here are my creations :)

For my simplified setting, please see below. Any comments are welcome.

Equipment list:

1) Flash (borrowed)

      Name: Canon SpeedLite 580EX

      Setting: M with power=1/2 (Tips from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2d281_HoEQ)

      Purpose: To freeze the smoke and act as a secondary light source at the right

2) Table Lamp

     Purpose: For illumination on the smoke at the left

3) Flash remote trigger

      Name: BlaZZeo MegTrig RF Speedlites Trigger: Receiver and Transmitter

      Setting: set to same channel for receiver and transmitter

      Purpose: To trigger the flash since the location of the flash will not be where the camera is pointing

4) Wide angle lens

      Name: Canon EF 17-35mm F/2.8 USM

5) DSLR Camera (borrowed)

      Name: Canon 7D

      Purpose: Instead of 10D, I used 7D due to its lower noise level. Smoke image needs to be noise free to stay “clean”!

      Setting: F20 (for deeper DOF and prevent overexposured image), 1/160(cos the wireless system does not work fast enough)

6) Pure Black background

         Name: My dress (LOL)

7) Supports

         Name: cans

Purpose: To make sure the flash is similar level as the smoke

8) Black covers

       Purpose: To ensure the flash to directionally shine onto the smoke only instead of illuminating up the surrounding

Have fun :)
