If you want to emphasize the smoke, you need to light the smoke, which means less light on the rest of the set. Do you have any way to snoot the light? If you do, move the main light up and more to the left. If you don't have a snoot, try constructing one out of cardboard, then feather the fill light out to where the edge of the light shines on the model. Try a few set-ups and watch the differences in your shots. I think you have a good idea going here, now you just need to fine tune your lighting.
I shot this with an MZ-S, I will not be using that body for the next shots in
favour of a K1000. Also I will not be using the Ilford 125 black and white film
in favour of a Kodak TMax.
Why stop using the MZ-S? I'd probably 86 the pop-up and go with a synch cord, but the body isn't going to make that much difference.
Thanks for this feedback also. Could you please expand on this. I take all

Um, in comedy, this is called a "call back." I guess you missed the original thread, so don't worry about it. I was making a joke.
Kind regards Kevin
