[QUOTE="Felisek, post: 416736, member: 23887"] Yesterday I took some shots of smoking candles for the weekly challenge (smoke/steam). I have already submitted a picture to the challenge, but going through the photos again I realised that this one had a good potential. There was some furniture in the background visible (I don't have big black background sheets) in this shot, so I rejected it at first. Today, I did some post processing and removed the unwanted background. At the end I'm quite pleased with the result, so I present it here. There were three off-camera flashes used. One to the left, one to the right, about a foot from the candle each, set to about 1/16 power, if I remember correctly. The third flash was behind the candle, below the table, about three feet away, giving back illumination. Set to about 1/4 power. All manual.
