Candle just blown out.

Flash set to 6 pops/second at 1/128 power, handheld just below and behind, aimed towards the top of the candle. Triggered by hand when the shutter went off.

Technically, its not smoke, its vaporized wax. Which is why I like it :) Go team flammable vapors!

thanks!

I absolutely love how sharp the smoke and candle all are in this picture. I also like how your strobe seems to make the candle glow.

Great control of your background as well.

Thanks. The candle is back lit by the flash. The smoked moved very slowly in this photo (compare to the others from the same shoot) , which helped making it look sharper.
