Scorchio!
That’s one flaming hot chili! Ahem. Sorry.
Anyway, it’s my entry to the Photo Challenge which this week has a theme of “fire”.
For those interested in the lighting (both of you!), there’s a Vivitar 283 with a full CTO gel on it at about 1/4 power, gridded with a a grid made from a cereal packet and some black straws, camera right just glancing off the front of the chili to light the fork and the front right edge.
The rest of the light is coming from a piece of rolled up kitchen paper soaked in lighter fuel and pinned to the back of the chilli.
My house now smells of lighter fuel and burnt paper.

Bloody brilliant!
Great work :)
