Hot Pepper · **8 Likes**

One of the hot peppers we grew this year, a Trinidad moruga scorpion. I've already dried nearly a kilogram's worth, yielding just over a 100 g of dried powder, so I have enough to incapacitate myself several thousand times over and I could spare a few to some fire experiments.

This is a blend of 2 exposures, one for the fire and one for the flashes to light the pepper and background. It was just easier that way, increasing the exposure time started to make the flames too much of a blob and the flashes didn't go down low enough to work with the ambient (I didn't have enough ND filters on hand to help them along). A wire support holding the pepper from below was also cloned out.

Very clever and creative. I started a small vegetable garden this yea and while I didn't grow any peppers, they are on my list for next year as something new to try. But not hot peppers - I'd have no local customers if I spiced food that way.

Great creative effect. That pepper is burning hot. Very innovative.
