Death March

Wow! My first time setting up a shoot rather than just taking snapshots and it's top ten percent!

Huge thanks for all the votes and comments.

I would have liked a more perfect line, but didn't have time to set it up again. I varied the DOF from front to back but it worked better toward the middle. Maybe the cigarette most in focus should have been something different, perhaps a lit one or a different colour, but then the uniformity would have been lost (and the effect of a marching army was what I was going for - I had forgotten about The Wall at the time) and I would have had to change the title - perhaps there'll be an 'Odd One Out' challenge in the future? The floor in front looked completely black on the monitor I used for editing, but the cigarettes did look like they were floating in mid-air rather than marching on a solid floor. Oh, and yes, I'm a smoker.

Thanks again.
