Editor's Note: Ok, this was different. I don't recall ever having to capture smoke before.

So I read up a bit on it in google, then basically ignored everything I read and gave it a go.

That is, I didn't use an incense stick, I didn't point the flash from the side, and the background wasn't a foot away from the smoke.

I did use as fast a shutter speed as I could with my Speedlight (1/250 - on camera) and as small an aperture as I dared given that I needed enough light to show the boys (f/8).

I must say I was rather pleased with how it came out, given that I needed to get a dog in there, too.

This is the one and only shot I took, as I had no desire to smoke up my kitchen. :)

"This is a fine mess you got us in, Kitty."

"If you think I'm going to untangle you..."

"Hey!"
