I was playing around with Photoshop this morning and tried to re-create an image I saw a few months ago, I can't remember where I saw it or what the technique was.
I had some old images of smoke from an incense stick and I combined three of them together, made a circular selection and inverted the image to give a negative effect, used the Filter > Spherize tool twice on the circle and made a new layer via a copy. Then a new background, added a gradient, copied in the 'bubble' and made a shadow (this needs some more work I think).
What do you think?
