Good eyes, Jadzia. I didn't catch that line! (Is it still there?)

blade: you can name it: "Genie (title by Nugar)" lol!

Thanks. You know that line is apart of the bottle, I didn't notice it when I was shooting. I debated on whether to leave it in or not. I think you helped end that question.

OOOPs sorry - u have no *. Ignore the gung ho critic in the pits. :oP

Wow! I love it. The only thing I can * on is the slight line up the center of the bottle.

Pops, Here is the setup: The bottle is Perrier bottle, sitting on top of a flashlight that is just about the same circumference. The photo was taken in my basement, where I can pretty much control the lighting, or lack there of. I was lighting matches and then tossing them into the bottle. I captured the smoke at aperture: F 2.8, shutter priority: 1/30, ISO: 200. Some photoshop post-processing; unmask sharp, brightness & contrast, cleaning up some bright spots with clone stamp tool. Then lastly a run through with Neat Image to smoothen everything out.

I'd love to know the details of setting up this shot! It's very cool.

Nugar, you are so right about that title. I wish I would have thought of it, I wouldn't feel right changing it now.

Nice picture! Another good name for it would be "genie".
