Unreal
“The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it
Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last.
Stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die.
But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.”
- Chuck Palahniuk -

Black Bear is my entry for Camera Critters.
Great macro shot!
I love the picture and the quote. And I would have to agree with the quote. Sometimes I have more vivid memories of dreams than real life. And no one can take away our hopes and dreams. This post is very inspirational.
Your beautiful bee photo made me think of gratitude for the seemingly small things in life.

this is how i did the smoke shot.
in addition to a camera, i also used:
-off camera flash
-incense stick
-black background
-2 pcs of black card
-tripod
my camera settings:
-exposure mode-manual
-shutter speed-1/200
-aperture-f9.5
-ISO-100
-focal length- 48mm
you can see my hardware setup here and the speedlight setup here
note: i think the key here is the 2 pcs of black cardboard that must be
attached to both sides of the speedlight to prevent light from falling on the background, btw the image must be taken in a dark room or at night with no or with minimal light.
>PP: it you just want to change the colour of the smoke, just adjust the hue level.
for the rainbow coloured smoke, on another layer I used the gradient tool with rainbow colour, soft light blending mode, flatten, and inverting the tone image to get the white background.

is my wife's simple way of saying thank you.
