My friend blowing a pink bubble to help me with a photo club I’m a member of (the theme for the month was pick a colour from the hat…I got pink).

My friend from the Pink Bubble shot also helped me with this one by applying the pink lipstick to the glass.

I decided to give photographing water droplets another shot, the lighting still isn’t quite what I wanted, so yet another try will be done later.

Sorry about the huge post, but rather then posting nothing but smoke pictures for the next few weeks, I decided to post a bunch at once instead. I played around experimenting with smoke, after 155 shots it was hard to choose some to post, and there are lots more I wanted to post, but I think 9 is enough for one night.
