I really enjoyed creating the smoke in the dark themed shoot. It was very different from anything that I have done so far and resulted in images that I believe are of a high quality. The difference in my images are what makes it so special, I don’t like to be tied to just one theme or idea and for this project I was able to expand my knowledge and experience by experimenting with a range of different techniques. The images above are the result of my patience with the camera and I used a shutter speed of around 4 seconds to really catch the smoke in all its movement. I decided that movement was something that I really wanted to capture through my camera on this shoot in particular. In the past my steel wool experimenting came out well and the effect was astonishing to see when I actually looked at the images. The way the light can bend and move at your will is something really great to be able to create. And through the smoke I was able to further capture this, as the smoke also demonstrated this kind of movement. Each of the images hold their own composition and they make the image work. The contrast of the black background and the white smoke is quite startling. It makes it even more so since I used things on Photoshop such as curves, exposure and vibrancy. The images that came out as a result of my photo-shoot with smoke are not only great to look at but they keep your attention. You want to see the lines of the smoke as they twist and turn in the image and I think it isn’t just important to catch a person’s attention, it’s important to keep it and make the experience worthwhile. Overall I am happy with the work that I have done and night photography has allowed me to experience new conditions and new techniques that will further my work in the future and on future projects.
