Looks kind of like a flower

Smoke
So I tried something I have seen on the pentax photo gallery, that is photographing smoke. I pulled out some old incense and took some pictures with a black cloth behind it. I shot using my external flash behind and below the smoke so the light was pointed up and away from the backdrop. This allowed the smoke to be exposed, while letting the background go to mostly black. The blue color is due to the white balance I set my camera to, it can be adjusted to nearly any color. I took about 150 pictures, with about half of them turning out okay, but these are the ones I kept.
