So  today I decided to make use of both and try and create an atmospheric  still-life.<\/p>\n<p>I like the results but I failed to get the smoky atmosphere. I laid the  mask on the garage&#8217;s concrete floor and shot from above. I placed the  smoke machine just behind the head of the mask. The camera was set to  auto and the garage light turned off. I then used a Gorilla Torch to  paint light on the mask as the camera recorded the exposure. It took a  few shots to get the right effect, but no matter what I did I couldn&#8217;t  get the smoke looking effective around and above the mask.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bargh.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gasmask.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-404\" title=\"gasmask\" src=\"https:\/\/bargh.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gasmask.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"368\" height=\"550\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I even tried using the torch at a low angle to try and get rays of light but the shot just lacked contrast.<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t be beaten.
