Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Abstract II (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Olympus C-8080
Location: Home
Date: Feb 4, 2006
Aperture: f/7.1
ISO: 50
Shutter: 1/125
Galleries: Abstract
Date Uploaded: Feb 1, 2006

 The title is a reference to sculptor Constantin Brancusi's Bird in Space, which I have always loved. I think that without the title, the sculpture would lose a lot of its appeal to me. Just goes to show how much a title can matter!

This is a photograph of a single eddy of smoke. I chose this out of over 1000 shots. Yes, I am mildly obsessive :)
