The only thing missing from the shoot was a fog machine. Or, our old tenant next door who would come home with a carton of 'rez smokes' and proceed to *put it in the air.* Actual cigarettes, not the green stuff but he was prone to that as well. Which was overridden by the smell of rez smokes most of the time. Those 'third party' cigarettes you couldn't buy anywhere but on the native reserve. With a smell of burning twigs and death. To be honest though, the smell of burning cannabis can be sickly on it's own. There is too much of a good thing. Some days I thought I had issues. And then I thought, wait a second, that's everyday! In the past that is. Gotta slow that roll down eventually. Everybody's got some vice or other, whether it's sugar, alcohol, caffeine, sex, information, pills, exercise or a combo of the aforementioned. We're all questing for that dopamine high. Some vices are healthier than others admittedly. Like exercise. And light painting. Yeah let's all stick to the last two... *hides yerba cup.* At least I managed to make this one look pretty. Kinda cool like the Marlboro man until you grow up and realize the deal. I'm not judging, we all do what we gotta do to ease the pain. But funny little story, I remember one of my photo teachers talking about one of his old colleagues. Constantly smoking in the studio, after a few years his softboxes were turning so yellow it was throwing their white balance off. When my teacher remarked on this, the guy was like no problems! And blasted a dot with blue spray-paint on the inside of the softbox to balance out the yellow cast. Presto! Problem solved - easier than quitting for sure. To light this girl I used this circular disc reflector/shoot through diffuser as the background. I had as well one of those 'Stars' laser pointer pens that make the single point into hundreds of little points as well as a flash & shoot through umbrella, a crappy plastic fiber optic thing I got from the dollar store and lit with a Eagletac flashlight and gel. I really need to get a 'proper' black fiber optic as I love the effect so much. As well I had a LED strip thing on a tent pole to wave around. Last but not least I had a UV fluorescent bulb light going overhead. --- ^{**SATANS LETTUCE LEAVES 1 & 2**} |[![](https://www.martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0289-Md.jpg)](https://www.martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0289-Lg.jpg)|[![](https://martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0291-Md.jpg)](https://martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0291-Lg.jpg)| |-|-| |^{1:20 AM / ISO100 / f7.1 / 30s / 67mm / Canon 5D4}|^{1:23 AM / ISO100 / f7.1 / 30s / 67mm / Canon 5D4}| --- ^{**Shoot Through the Haze**} [![](https://martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0287-Md.jpg)](https://www.martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0287-Lg.jpg) ^{1:14 AM / ISO100 / f7.1 / 30s / 105mm / Canon 5D4} --- ^{**Gong Show 1 & 2**} |[![](https://martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0285-Md.jpg)](https://www.martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0285-Lg.jpg)|[![](https://www.martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0284-Md.jpg)](https://martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0284-Lg.jpg)| |-|-| |^{1:00 AM / ISO100 / f7.1 / 30s / 47mm / Canon 5D4}|^{12:59 AM / ISO100 / f7.1 / 30s / 67mm / Canon 5D4}| --- ^{**D'Golden NuggXone**} [![](https://martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0272-Md.jpg)](https://www.martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0272-Lg.jpg) ^{12:16 AM / ISO100 / f7.1 / 30s / 47mm / Canon 5D4} --- ^{**Gong Show 3 & 4**} |[![](https://www.martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0273-Md.jpg)](https://www.martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0273-Lg.jpg)|[![](https://martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0275-Md.jpg)](https://martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0275-Lg.jpg)| |-|-| |^{12:18 AM / ISO100 / f7.1 / 30s / 47mm / Canon 5D4}|^{12:20 AM / ISO100 / f7.1 / 30s / 47mm / Canon 5D4}| --- ^{**ChronoSpore 101**} [![](https://martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0267-Md.jpg)](https://www.martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0267-Lg.jpg) ^{12:01 AM / ISO100 / f14 / 30s / 58mm / Canon 5D4} --- ^**GoldLeaf** [![](https://martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0288-Md.jpg)](https://www.martinlach.ca/img/CannaVzn1/_IMG_0288-Lg.jpg) ^{1:16 AM / ISO100 / f7.1 / 30s / 105mm / Canon 5D4} --- That's all for this edition.
