This is an image of fog machine “low lying” smoke a few seconds after rising out of the machine. It is lit from the left side at approximately a 120deg angle from the camera by a high powered LED headlamp. I had a difficult time deciding which image to choose from those taken of this setup, but I went with this one because of the interesting flow artifacts captured here, namely the parabolic waves at the top and the bulbous “jellyfish” shape near the bottom.

You captured the wispiness of this image so well! I really like how soft the image looks, the lighting really amplifies what the fog is doing.
The field of view is interesting for this image. The two defined shapes stand out in focus, and the smoke close behind is out of focus, which is interesting considering that the smoke sections are less than an inch away from each other.
The shape near the bottom of the image really caught my eye. The jet looking quality really is an amazing formation. That, mixed with the almost “lazy” feel of the movement in the image gives off deep sea vibes to me.
I’m very impressed how in focus the strings of fog are. You can see the fog shooting out at the bottom in a plume and the upper parabola type shape is very intriguing. I also really enjoyed the lighting of this image, having the light from the left shows where there is more fog and more light while it fades towards the right.
