Chilli in the shadows (365 mono #077)

It would be disappointing if this were to be the only use for the Jalepeno chilli peppers that I grew this summer.

Stuck for a Blip this evening, I was playing with my tripod, my flash, a lamp, and a chilli. Considering my lack of enthusiasm to begin with, I am rather pleased with the outcome.

The image was taken in the dark with the camera perched on my tripod. The flash is placed to the bottom of the shot with the lamp at the top (I don't think the lamp made much difference to the shot, but it did stop me tripping over things!). The shadow was made by placing my spindly finger in front of the flash.

The colour version has been posted to my Flikr account.
