Wow, this could be kind of fun to experiment with.....

Atmosphere in a can! Spray it in a windless environment and let either natural light or artificial light penetrate or enhance the effects. Hmmm.... I've had a few shoots where I wanted some specific mood like this. Might have to try it out.

10. Do you have any safety facts about Atmosphere Aerosol?

It is ozone safe and does not contain any CFC's or or ozone depleting chemicals.
The ingredients are propane (45%), butane (45%), and mineral oil (10%). Propane and butane are used as non-toxic propellants. Propane is a safe and environmentally friendly fuel, as well as non-toxic, colorless, and odorless. It is a great source of clean fuel and it’s used by millions of Americans each day. Hair spray cans, aerosol shaving cream cans, and other pressurized canned products such as PAM cooking spray use propane and butane as a propellant. When Atmosphere Aerosol is sprayed, a small, non-harmful amount of gas propels the spray and quickly dissipates, leaving the mineral oil in the air.
This product is not known to contain any chemicals currently listed as carcinogens or reproductive toxins.
This product’s ingredients are not found in the following lists: Federal, OSHA, NTP, IARC.
Breathing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects.

:ponder: if it's 10% mineral oil as a fine mist, isn't there a high probability this will make it's way to a lens surface? And then can you imagine trying to get THAT off the lens? Wonder if it affects lens coatings too?

Might give a whole new meaning to "Strike" a pose... :-P
 
Just hang out around UT at about 4:20 pm every day and you'll get a "fog" effect.

Definitely would use a clear filter on the lens. I have used a smoke machine (they are cheap the day after Halloween), but this looks a lot more portable and manageable.
