SMOKINGLYFANTASTIC
I can almost hear the tune. Lovely

Great shot! Did you do this in a studio to get the light like this?
Bye the Bye I was hoping you'd pop over to the BBQ but I guess yiou were over in Amsterdam ?
Aah!
Electric blue, dancing smoke. I think it is a Tango....right? Or...perhaps a jellyfish in the sea, close to the effluent outflow from the Talisker distillery off the Isle of Skye? Great stuff, mal.
Lovely cool blue...I can almost hear Smokey Robinson now, Mal (ditto what Johnny said). This is wonderful!
Wow mal! Fantastic.
What are you smoking, mal? I better go flip through your archive.
And you a non - smoker!! (well the normal ciggies!!)
Amazing shot, Mal, love it. A few people are wondering how you did this, and so am I....
A-ha and ABC...are you stuck in the 80's??
Nice shot, another type of shot I've yet to try and probably won't for fear of failure!! Love it.
Amazing shot! Tell me that it took at least fifty attemts to get this - just to make me feel better! I wouldn`t have a clue where to begin with this type of photograph. (:o)
When Mal shoots, everyone looks!
Johnny should have known you were NOT in Amsterdam on Saturday but at a birthday party. We DID miss you.
I'm hearing violins. Spookily, this is the song I was humming to myself yesterday as I was driving home.
Yeah, this is a great shot Mal, love the blue and the black background is very effective. My son was using my dSLR for the first time at the weekend and he wants to try some smoke shots, so I'll be doing some of these myself again soon. Incidentally, I know you shoot a lot at ISO 50 - over on photo.net there was some thought that you might get a reduced dynamic range on that setting, as the 'native' ISO setting is 100. Make of that what you will! http://photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00MStX
This is a bit yesterday isn't it Mal!o
Good effort however, is that faint praise? If anyone is interested there is a link to a tutorial on shooting smoke on my blog.
Very cool Mal
ACE !!
Wonderful shot.
That blue is incredible. I almost want to eat it as it reminds me of taffy. Everyone else hears music in it. I see candy....
An eye catchRrr !!
How do you do it?
The colour in this shot is electric Mal. Outstanding
Very beautiful blue tones. I do like it a lot.
That's simply beautiful. So sensual.
...I hear violins....
top performance mal
Very striking colours Mal.
Fantastic shot. I've never tried to capture smoke before so was surprised to see from the exif that the shutter speed was only 1/80s. I would have thought that you needed a fast shutter speed to capture the movement without blurring?
Ingrid
Really nice one, Mal.
Ignore the nay-sayers, Mal. I'll never get tired at looking at good smoke shots. "A great photo is a great photo at any time" back at you!
incredible. another magic shot mal
Lazy patterns in blue. Could that be a song? It can become one if you can write the music.
Inspiratiomal.
exactly the type of shot i knew you'd do...liking the ghost blue toning...
like this one mal.
A great smokey abstraction. Lovely!
You surprise me everytime!
Nice eyecandy!
I've done a few of these myself, they are absolutely fascinating. Well done Mal.
Awesome! I did something similar but used ink in a tank full of water. This smoke comes off so much better! It's great! Can you share any technical aspects with us? How it was lit and things like that?
Great pic, Mal. I like the dance of smoke!
Magic !!! Straight in my likey's
really nice
Wow, very very cool. I would love to be able to get a shot like this. Oh well, something to strive for I guess.
Wham-bam-spank-me-ma'am.... into my likeys this goes!
Holy Macaroni Mal Man! This is gob-smackingly good.
I've seen some blue lit farts in my time, but how do you get it to be so twirly?
Joss sticks were never this interesting when I was a lad - strobe on my man. Mike
despite the Smokey allusion... a beautiful macro with clever composition...
this is a great shot mal with original tone! saw it on Onexposure as well: well done!
It looks like bones on a xray picture!
really amazing...
It's beautiful shot. How did you get the blue? Was it through lighting or post processing work?
Stunning colour. Straight to my likeys. All the best, Dave.
Hi Mal ! this shot is excellent ! I like this render colors !
see you are branching out, I love this Mal.
Great work.
Im not into abstract stuff like this, but I think this is a wonderful shot that works on all levels. Smoking shot!
lovely
Cool - I've thought about trying a smoke pic myself...I like the three dimensional effect you have captured
fabulous.
lol at simon. i think stuck in the eighties is a little late i take you for more of a seventies fellow. as for sheeplover amazing what a twisted colon will do. wonderful shot mate.
