Smoke Tendrils Rising

Static shot with natural motion: White smoke rises from incense against a jet black background. The smoke creates delicate, ever-changing tendrils and wisps that curl and twist as they ascend. Backlighting makes the smoke glow against the darkness, highlighting every detail of the fluid turbulent patterns. The smoke starts thin at the source, gradually expanding and becoming more diffuse as it rises. Air currents create organic flowing shapes - sometimes smooth ribbons, sometimes chaotic swirls. The motion is entirely natural and unpredictable. Some smoke drifts toward camera creating soft focus areas. The monochromatic palette emphasizes form and movement over color.
