Wilbur

Day 233 of an Unknown Number

"Wilbur"

 

One of my latest hobbies is raising chili peppers.....the hot ones. The little unassuming pepper at the left is currently the hottest chili pepper in the world. As for the lighting, our key light is a very large Octa box at camera-left, feathered away from the black background. I then used a piece of white bounce board to....bounce a little light into the camera-right side of the peppers. Because of the old Inverse Square Law, that silly jalapeño went rather dark. I was shooting from above, and the peppers are resting on a piece of black Plexiglass. Oh, Wilbur Scoville was the man who came up with the system of rating chili pepper piquancy (spiciness). If your mouth is not watering......you don't have salivary glands. Thanks for stopping by!!
