Smoke Photography (almost) LIVE!
About 10 years ago I made a video all about photographing smoke patterns. Dig around on YouTube and you’ll find it but a lot has changed in that time and I don’t just mean how grey my hair has gone.
I felt it was time to revisit photographing smoke patterns and Olympus UK were kind enough to host the live shoot on their Facebook page. If you missed it live, you can catch the whole thing here
At the end of the demo I made a triptych from three smoke images. To save time I created a Photoshop action which automated the process down to one single click.
Since the demo I’ve had many requests for the triptych action, so here it is.
To action assumes a few things. First it will make the triptych from three images that are already open in Photoshop. Next it assumes they’re the newest images you have on screen. Finally, all the images need to be exactly the same size and shape.

Kind of you to share this, Gavin. I don’t often use this sort of thing but when needed these are valuable indeed. I still treasure the sunbeams you shared earlier.
Excellent video and much appreciated.
Thanks so much for your generosity, Gavin!
