    50mm @ f2 1/60s iso400

    100 watt halogen (outdoor flood light) hanging in the center of the garage.
    Then blew cigar smoke directly up at it, turned off all the other ambient light and then focused on the center of the smoke (thickest spot i could manually focus on). That's pretty much it, took me a few tries to get the focus right (and lightheaded for blowing that much cigar smoke lol3.gif ).
    The rest of it was LR3 and PSE. Thanks for having a look rookieshooter thumb.gif

    I dig it. It almost looks like an abstract painting (in a good way!). There are benefits to your wife making you smoke them in the garage, see that? rolleyes1.gif
