Smoke Photography Setup

Since I started to do photography I have been interested to work on smoke photography Today I decided to do my first try. So,  Looking on internet I found that the setup for smoke photography is relatively simple but it is not easy to control the smoke. 

Here’s what you need to do your smoke photography.

• 1. A power controllable flash (in my case, Nikon SB700)
• 2. A DSLR with any good lens, though a macro lens would make things a lot easier.
• 3. Although you can get smoke from various sources, I used incense sticks 
• 4. A tripod is required 
• 5. A table lamp pointed on the smoke helps in focussing.
• 6. A black cloth for the backdrop. Two small black sheets that can form a rectangular snoot and last but not least, a wireless trigger.
