I am a 42-year old husband and father. I was an avid computer gamer and DOF, F-stops and the like were foreign to me until my wife introduced me to photography.

I began shooting during the latter part of March 2010 and quickly became addicted to it. I started this blog to share my journey and to learn along the way. Special thanks to my wife Eng who encouraged me and to all my friends in Blogosphere who shared their knowledge and taught me to further this craft.

I know I've read somewhere about doing the colorful smoke, but now I can't remember how to do it. Simply beautiful.

Mridula

Dave many thanks for your detailed reply about how you took the shot. Some of it is definitely above my head and I need to read more. I have a 300-700mm Sigma lens and used it to take the shot. Any ideas of how to make it better?

Mustang Sally

Love, Love, LOVE what you did here! Awesome shot, and put me on the list that wants to know how you did it. Can't wait to see more.

Mojo

I was hoping you'd give away the secret too. I'd assume it was light painting of some kind, but smoke doesn't really hold still enough for that.

However you did it, it's great!

Maria's Space

Wow! Very very nice shot. I can't even imagine how you got this.

Martha

Congrats! I just saw that you were the winner at Color Carnival this week! :-)

Teresa

Wow! That is quite the shot.

Anonymous

Wow! That's so cool. Would love to learn how you did it.

Have a very nice day!
