Smoke Tricks in Photography!

in photography •  7 years ago 

We went into this derelict parking garage and decided to kick up some of the dust in order to get some cool light effects coming from the sunlight streaming through the holes in the wall. Every time I see a well-done smoke effect in a photo, I can't help but be wowed by it.

A quick suggestion I have for anybody that wants to try out smoke effects in their own photographs. You can use smoke bombs OR you can use any kind of particulate like ground up chalk to create a cool effect in your photos.

This isn't the GREATEST picture, however, I really like the particulates' effect on the light.

Hey man, that's a solid shot! Do you think lowering the camera so that it's closer to an object on the ground will improve the framing a bit, or do you think this is a superior angle?

I think that lowering the angle would work well. You would get more depth to the shot and it would be more cinematic.
