Smoke from single, motionless stick of incense. This is exactly how it came out of the camera, I added only some color in post-production to accentuate the "flower petals".
Strobist: Canon 40D, 24-70L, 1/200 sec at f/22. Canon 580EX II flagged with black card to control background spill, E-TTL with cat-5 extended sync cord at 90-degrees level camera right.
