Fingers by aloshbennett.
cancer: a serious disease that is caused when cells in the body grow in a way that is uncontrolled and not normal, killing normal cells and often causing death

Taken for active assignment weekly - body parts.

What it took:
Camera on tripod.
Flashlight with butterpaper for lighting.
Dim lighting, higher exposure to get the glow from the cigarette.
Tungsten white balance.
Adjusted the curve in Gimp

First I wondered why it was not perfectly sharp (given that you used a tripod. But then I realized the 2 seconds exposure. I guess you can add tremors to the effects of smoking...
Beautiful lighting nevertheless.

Awesome lighting, and the red glow of the cigarette is wonderful. Would have gotten my vote if it were just a bit sharper.
