Hermann Rorschach, White Courtesy Phone Please.

We get lot of smoke photography in the Strobist Flickr Group, but this is the first time one has come close to getting bounced for not being family-friendly.

On second thought, I don't see anything unusual about it at all.

(Nope, nothing.)

Click the pic to get to the Flickr page, where Strobist reader Shafik Saba includes a brief run-thru on how he shot this purely random smoke photo.

Hey, my first comment here.
Do only males see females in their smoke? Here's one straight up and un-retrouched.

I got this one the first night of trying shooting smoke.

I'm absolutely amazed that nature created this pattern, which existed only for a fraction of a second and was then gone. It really makes me want to explore the smoke more.
