Hi /p/. Got a larger project running here: my plan is to take a pic of every trick (-> martial arts tricking) i can do well, make a nice black+white artwork out of it, and hang it somewhere in my room.
When it comes to the aerial/variations of it (A-Twist etc.), i think air would be quite a nice thing, which I was thinking of to be represented by smoky stuff around my body.
I basically need some high-contrast shots of smoke (not just a blurry cloud). Got a D80 here, thus the camera shouldn't be a problem, but how do I shoot the pics? I thought of buying some cigarettes and placing something black behind and something really bright in front of it, then give it a shot (literally).
Now before i make my room smell like shit for a week, I'd like to know whether that's worth it at all.


tl;dr: I need tips for nice photos of smoke
