Pepper No. 1

I bought this pepper because it looked so photogenic.

Setup:
The pepper was positioned on black velvet and one off-camera flash triggered manually from the left. On the right side of the pepper, I had a white reflector to bounce a little light to the dark side of the pepper. (Sounds like a Pink Floyd record....) The camera was securely mounted on a tripod and the exposure lasted for 15 seconds.
