Thank you, Richard!
I figured smoke would be a little easier than my previous water drops. Wrong! Even with still air, the slightest movement on my part to move the secondary flash that I hold in my hand or moving the incense stick up and down, makes the smoke go all over.
Here's my ghetto home "studio" for this project.
Two pieces of paper over the main flash to diffuse the light, a single piece over the slave flash. Everything is in manual mode. I've got the camera trigger hanging over the lens for the pic. The balsa stick that is taped to the camera tripod helps me with finding the focal point. The black marks are from a sharpie and are the different focal points I have been playing with. My black background is a black t-shirt that I cut the top part off that had the silk screen.
