Smoke Photography (also known as smoke art)

This morning while browsing through Digital Camera Photographer of the Year 2008 awards, I was in awe of a smoke photograph that immediately took my eye. The image (shown below) won a highly commended in the creative vision section.


The smoke photograph below titled Monroe was photographed by Parc Cruz. It was shot with a Canon 350D camera + Canon 100 mm lens.

Wow! This is very useful blog =)

Amazing collection of photographs. I really like the smoke effect in images. It looks very neat and smooth. I wish I could do something like that by myself, great work-keep it up!

Awesome! Can anyone tell me how terry altered the black colours in his video to get an unaltered foreground but a totally black background. I have paintshop pro, is this function avaliable in paintshop?

Thanks
