[QUOTE="PatrickDeBie, post: 380831, member: 33785"] First of all, I'm not trying to offend you :) Let's keep that clear. I love the patterns you create with the smoke and the choice of colors is very nice. The green and red/orange ones are really nice! :encouragement: I'm just saying that I personally think that it is better to take a good picture which can become even better with post-processing, than taking a less good one and post-process it till it becomes a good one. Especially adding blur to a picture to remove noise is something I find rather strange, because blur isn't actually meant for that. If it works, than it is OK, but you still see a lot of noise in your smoke and I find that a shame because I love the patterns you create!! Let's keep that in mind! :) I'm absolutely curious about how you do that. I think you whirl the smoke source to get to this, but I'm not sure. Finally, I'm not a pro photographer who knows every tiny detail about all the bits and pieces which comes with photography, I'm just a hobbyist and think that sometimes it's better to use the proven methods. Not that you shouldn't experiment, but in this case you can get the results you want (nice patterns and nice colors) with these proven methods. I'll tell you what. As soon as my camera returns from the store (it's being repaired because of an auto-focus defect), I'll give smoke photography a try! Let's see what I can come up with. Not to prove that I'm better (let's not make it a competition), but to see what kind of results we can get with the use of a flash. :) [/QUOTE]
