Robert's Ramblings

I've been imagining photographing candles for a while now. Thinking about the different aspects of flame and smoke.

While working today at my desk I became aware of a sweet cinnamon aroma permeating the house. I looked for the source of the smell and all of a sudden I realised the smoke from the incense my daughter was burning would make a very interesting subject.

So armed with a 100mm macro lens and strobe on a sync cord I caught four images before the burning ended and the smoke vanished.
