    nice work with the processing here, have you thought about stacking these ?

    Many thanks for all the knid comments.
    this turned out much easier to achieve than i thought.

    Pete, what does stacking mean?

    overlay these 3 shots to produce one image with 3 different coloured trails in it… just a thought….. not sure what image editor you’re using either which would influence how easy that would be.

    Open each image and then drag two of them on top of the other to create an image with 3 layers. Then play with the blending mode (if it’s available in your version of Elements).

    I haven’t used Elements before but I’m sure it’s possible, you could always do a search for “blending images elements”, there’s bound to be a plethora of video tutorials out there…

    Nice shots, how did you colour the smoke trails?

    These are very nice indeed. :) try them on a black backround too. There are loads of tutorials out the for the mac regarding this and ways to improve. I am pretty sure you will find a “stacking” tutorial too.
    RASMITH32 I don’t know about Slang61 but I used the hue and saturate option in PS to change the colour of the smoke.

    Nice shots very clean and crisp looking. Good work with the colours
