They are works of art - you should be bored more often.

Some nice patterns and pretty colours – good work. Did you do these in a darkened room using flash?

Cheers

Hi Phil,

Fabulous! Your right-hemisphere appears to be working overtime at the moment
and to great effect.

As you can see pretty simple setup. The best thing to do is get the flash off the camera. I also put cardboard on the side of the flash to direct light onto the smoke and not the background. Use a dark room and set a high F no: I used F11-16. Thats about it.
