Hmm, I see a "romance" story in that picture.
The green outline represents a male head while the red, a female head.
It's as though as they are snuggling xD
The blue smoke might pass as his... er.. those furry thingy that British Governers wear last time.

Guys... guys...

Give you more idea la
Joss stick nowadays comes with less/no smoke one. And the trail is very faint. So, what you guys can do is, use mosquito coil. Only RM1.50 per box and you can shoot not until all mosquito die... you also die. Kekeke...

Anyway, Calvin... nice try. For the color blending, try use the rainbow color instead of the 3 color tinting. Gives you smoother effect (pstt... e.g. vincent's signature.

Anyway, as for your set up... you are doing it too extreme. He! He!He!

You only need 1 flash... And the flash should shoot from bottom up. But from the side is still ok. 1 flash is more than enough.
And put it very close to your smoke not too far. You will see better smoke trail. Oh... and for the T shirt as background... all you need is use a chair and put dress the back support part. No need duck tape. He! He! And no need box .

I am not good with photoshop, so no patience to do so much editing.

Well, since got 2 flashes, then make use of them lor.

For background, must improvise mah. Not necessary stick to one method like the one you mentioned right? I was trying to keep the shirt as smooth as possible without any creases. I was using masking tape only, not duct tape. If not my paint also come off.

Everyone's setting different depending on the location of their shot mah.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback.

It was a good experience laugh.gif
