POTD 23 of 365

My intent for tonight's shot was to take a macro shot of a candle flame.

Do you know how mind-numbingly boring a macro shot of a candle flame can be? I wasn't aware, but, I found out, so, I snuffed the candle. Then, inspiration struck:

I setup the flash, angled it up slightly next to the candle, pulled the diffuser panel, and set it to 1/4. Took a few shots to get smoke that I liked, gave it a quick B+W and contrast boost in DPP, and Bob's your uncle.

Setup shot here:
