This quarantine thing is going faster than it seems and it’s already been almost two weeks since I posted Hot Pepper No. 1. Time for another in this series which is an homage to Edward Weston and a celebration of my love of capsaicin.
Nikon D800, Tamron SP 90mm f2.8 VC Macro
Weston’s famous Pepper No. 30 was taken inside of a metal funnel. Not having a metal funnel around, I searched the cupboards and came up with this stainless steel pint glass from the Old Chicago restaurant chain. Different effect than the funnel but I kind of like it.
