It's Getting Steamy In Here

I wanted to play with steam last night, so I stood there with a pan of boiling water, trying to find the best settings for capturing it, before I ran out of time to head to work. I have a few more ideas I want to try out with steam, so expect to see this shot improve...

I found I wasn't getting a clean shot of the steam because there was not contrast between the steam and the backgroud, so I put my mouse mat there. Next time I will invest in a nice big sheet of black card.
