Nuts, roasted at 800° celsius DSC_7035

Not quite a true macro, this image is just over 4cm across.

 

What you can see are two M8 size A2 stainless steel nuts (suspended on a wire in front of a green background) that are being heated with a blue gas flame.

 

This was taken with a Helios 44M lens at f/16 on about 25mm of extension tube. The strange orange outline around the right nut is due to it being slightly out of focus; it's the bokeh that is orange. The heat and force of the blowtorch on my wobbly set up made focussing difficult, resulting in a slightly burnt finger and a small fire.
