[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 415506, member: 16749"] A question, primarily for [USER=22693]@Blacktop[/USER] or [USER=16844]@Lawrence[/USER], but I welcome insight from anyone else as well. Genuine instances of smoke and steam, in any photogenic form, are pretty rare in my life. To stick to the true spirit of this theme, as I understand it, I'd probably have to sit this one out. I will state that I have a history of being a bit ornery about overly-strict applications of themes, but in this case, I have no intention of being so. I have a fog machine, that I bought many, many years ago, and have never used. I was thinking of it recently, as I have an idea how I might use it for a photograph for the current monthly challenge. I'm wondering if fog generated by this machine would be acceptable as an alternative to smoke or steam; as it would look visually similar, but would not technically be actual smoke or steam. (To be really nitpicky, visible “steam” isn't really steam, either. Steam is invisible. It's only water that condenses out, back to liquid form, and becomes a fog, that is visible as “steam”.)
