German photographer Thomas Herbrich setup a high speed camera to capture images of smoke emanating from a cigarette. The cigarette was placed on a tripod, and the camera set to capture at 1/10,000 frames per second. As the smoke from the cigarette traveled through the air, the camera captured shots, showing the smoke forming various shapes in the air.
We are totally in awe of the magnificent work of artist Jim Dingilian. His art shows miniature scenes common place in suburbs, but it is where and how he makes these that is remarkable. He uses empty liquor bottles, turning their insides black using candle smoke. Jim then proceeds to etch out the parts not required, and ends up with these smoked bottles. Someone should totally work this theme out with ships in bottles.
Artist Diane Victor makes these interestingly detailed smoke drawings.

We’re totally enchanted by these compositions from photographer Mehmet Ozgur. The photographer captures smoke, manipulating materials and elements to come up with these astounding images for his SmokeWorks collection.
To make smoke behave like a liquid, we imagine would require a fair bit of wizardry. Well, not exactly. The only wizardry involved here is smoking a cigarette, or a joint for thicker smoke. The guy in the video used unfiltered cigarettes and cold glass for this liquid smoke effect. Apparently, the glass cools the smoke and makes it settle under the warmer air, setting pace for the desired liquid effect. Not breathing as you release the smoke into the cold glass is the key, or the effect won’t be reached. Oh, and in case you decide to go ahead with a joint, remember to make portraits afterwards.
