…but it’s made in a Hollywood basement – Red Hot Chili PeppersThis was made in my basement.. maybe not Hollywood, but close enough, no? I took this picture when I had set up my gear for some smoke photography and before I lit the incense I tested with some different substances and this was one of the results.. from Lumendipity Photography Blog – www.lumendipity.com/blog
After the Schwarzenegger image a while back, some more movie characters in smoke.. at least that’s what I saw in these smoke pictures.. let me know what you think: Nikopol from “Immortel (Ad Vitam)” (see info & picture of movie here) Gizmo from the Gremlins: You can reply on me to spot the stars in smokey environments… for more smoke pictures, have a look at the gallery and smoke photography gallery. from Lumendipity Photography Blog – www.lumendipity.com/blog
On one of my smoke shoots, some dust was falling and it reflected the light of my flash when I took pictures… The results looks like stars, stardust, and give a little extra to the smoke pictures. The one picture doesn’t have much editing done to it, the other was mirrored with the previously discussed technique.

I usually post my pictures to some photography forums, and when I posted this picture, I asked people what they see in it.. I love how people see different things and sometimes they make me see angles on my pictures that I hadn’t noticed before. Here are some of the responses I received, let’s see if you can see it all.. or let me know if you see something else! I see a horse on the right, but I can’t […]

Maybe this title isn’t that relevant, but sometimes it feels like digging and digging, until you finally stumble on something… some delicate handling and cleaning before the piece is ready to be shown… This time it looks like I discovered some ancient duck-like animal. Or is it an X-ray of a dog? I think I’m almost done with the raw materials I have, so I may be shooting some more smoke soon… from Lumendipity Photography Blog – www.lumendipity.com/blog
