The tube was held over a bath of liquid nitrogen, to which I added water right before the shot to make the steam.

Post processing was levels, and noise reduction.

hey thanks for the comments everyone. Yes this is trypan blue, which in hindsight, was not the best choice with the background... The flash was on camera, as I don't currently have an off-camera flash setup (I do agree that it makes it a bit too harsh).

A great idea, definitely appropriate for the challenge. The lighting could be a little less harsh, though. It appears to be taken with an on-camera flash, which looks really unnatural, and the dark tube blends right into the black background. It might work better if the angle were changed so that the tube was entirely in front of the fog, instead of the background.

Nitrogen or dry ice? Trypan or Coomassie? Love the fog, wish it were just a little wispier.
