320. Joss Stick Keeps Your House Clean From Bad Vibes...

2010.11.16

... and make you wish to take pictures like these lol.

ok ok, I must confess the original idea was from this guy that has super amazing ideas for shots. and guess what? You can find him here on photoblog! here's the link for his blog. Find out who he is .

Now, about the pictures, they didn't came out like i expected (was my first try ok...) , but last one was like I wanted, I just wished others would work ok.
But well the back ground didn't help, and it was enough hearing my mum telling what the hell I was doing. lol
But the best part is that she loved the result haha.
are you bored at home because of the rain?
don't you know what to photograph?
Are you a drunk? (ok this one was just kidding)
then go to your supermarket, buy a joss stick that most defines you, and try this out! I had a lot of fun doing it!

For first time, it is not bad of the whole.
And then, your mother is finally satisfied with the result... and too

Nice set! I also had tried something similar here Smoke

Great!
I have planned to try this too, so maybe one rainy day... ;)

smokey and cool, Ricky! I love them.

I won't take offense to the drunk jab(haha didn't think I'd notice? ;) )

and incense (that's what this is, right?) is named a migraine stick in my house - big trigger so I have to find something else to try

C'mon don't be tricky ricky... incense? I'm kidding :D
I use only Tibetan natural herbs incense. Love them and they purify yes. I have my Tibetan book and relaxing meditative music...
(The others cause me allergy, headache, sneezing, tears in my eyes and asthma :-/ Probably they contain chemical substances.)
Like the last shot.

The visual is very nice, but the smell doesn't go well with me... :-)

nataliemanco · 2010-11-15: 07:25

I always have this at home, but I've never tried to photograph it...
It seems you're enjoying the camera, uh?
XD

These are really good Ricky. There is another individual on pb who posted superb smoke photos. Can you remember?

Well, you did a great job here!!

Ryana · 2010-11-15: 08:22

I don't think I believe much in the stick, but I do believe you got some really cool shots - I especially like the movement of the smoke in the first one! Very well done.

djnana · 2010-11-15: 08:34

What's the scent? Like the last one very much. :)

????? · 2010-11-15: 08:36

Cool shots!!!

LAZYWASP · 2010-11-15: 08:47

Oh, very cool shots, Ricky....looks like fun to shoot! You gave me an idea for shooting this winter when it's too cold to go out!

miltonjacob · 2010-11-15: 10:05

Nice extreme close focus!

davidcardona · 2010-11-15: 10:14

it's a good subject for picture though :)

blu06 · 2010-11-15: 10:55

Great!

wildduck · 2010-11-15: 11:55

Some joss sticks smell great, others smell like a toilet cleaner - designed to cover up a nasty smell with another nasty smell.
BTW, interesting shots.
