Hi d[-_-]b; I think you're right, they did photoshop in some smoke, and it's clearly single shot trap shooting rather than skeet.

I was trying to think of a reason why you'd get that much smoke from smokeless powder. Maybe some sort of cloud effect such as what aircraft create. But my understanding is that contrails form due to decreases in pressure while shotguns only produce increases. I've just never seen anywhere near that much smoke coming out of anything but a black powder rifle.

I think that the reason someone photoshopped in the smoke was because it is so hard to get a photo of a firearm being fired. The only photo they had was of him sighting down the barrel so they photoshopped it.

In the final analysis, who really cares, but it was fun to talk about.
