Trails or Trials

Either title will do!

It's 18 months since I've had a play with joss sticks and smoke trails. I'd like to do a lot more until I've got it sussed. I need to get the lighting, and the optimum camera settings for this subject. One blipper I know wrote an account of how he did it, but I'll never find that now.

A month ago, before I got my new 4TB external hard drive, my laptop was full that I had to download the day's photos onto a tower which didn't have internet access. There they have sat, until last night.

Shortly my next balloon day will be upon me and I didn't want any gaps. I'm at the stage where you don't have a balloon day for ages, then two come along at once!

Any critique will be welcome! Please feel free to link from mine to one you like!
