My son bought a theatrical smoke machine for a party at his apartment years ago. Actually, they are not driven by carbon dioxide.

Surely we have better things to worry about than whether the smoke is an approved type.

New thought:

Is it just me, or is this a slow-voting challenge?

I'm at about 103 votes and I've only received about 5 votes in the last 6 or 7 hours...

Maybe I'm just more antsy on this one because I've actually got a decent score going for once!

I don't think so, I also have 104 votes, but keep in mind that there are now 3 challenges (Smoke, Mirror, flowers with a lamp behind it) going on, and ppl get maybe a bit tired of voting...

Happy for you with ytour decent score, mine is not doing so well...

Is steam not just a certain type of smoke anyway?


Steam is an actual gas, and so can't be a "particle suspended in a gaseous medium."


You left out key elements of the quote. Steam is a suspension of liquid particles in a gaseous medium (that's what makes it visible) ... Surely we have better things to worry about than whether the smoke is an approved type.

I don't care what people use in their photos ... my comment was simply for scientific accuracy. Steam is not tiny droplets of water suspended in "air" but is a true gas, with individual molecules of H20 (not the same as "particles" in this case). After it cools it will condense into the tiny droplets of water vapor.

Personally, I am in favor of encouraging a broad interpretation of the challenges, and I don't care if people use steam or spray or anything else to give the appearance of smoke.

How about an "approved type" of smoke photographed to capture it in an attractive manner??

Damn it all to h*e*double L! I thought I had a winner this time :-(

Well, that proves it - you people just have no taste! LOL
