..On Assignment - 3 " Smoke Art "

 ..In this assignment , I want to give myself a real challenge and so, I think of creating fun of smoke with light .This is the hard task  because of unpredictability of smoke. there is nothing predictable about smoke- its density, the contours, the path that it takes and so on .As usual lighting up the smoke well is crucial to this assignment.
