Light My Fire

            Macro Mondays "Double Exposure"

Length of chili pepper: 5,5 cm / 2,16 inches; flame/candle: original size

I would have preferred to mask out the candle and only use the flame with the chili, because somehow I didn't think of taking the chili photo on a neutral surface / background, but felt that it would be cheating. The chili capture was taken in the kitchen (where else...), the pattern in the foreground (and some of the bokeh in the upper part, overlayed with the candle's wax) is from the kitchen worktop which is dark blueish-grey with a white marble-ish pattern. Actually the chili looks nice with that background, overlayed with the candle's wax (yellowish background), however, it's a little too busy, I think. As it was rather late, I decided to use the chili capture anyway, as I'd spent some time to get the flame kind of right (right size and position). 

Both captures were developed in ON1 Photo RAW 2018. In
Photoshop I used "hard light" with 100 % opacity as a blending mode for the candle layer. The final processing touch was done in Analog Efex, where I added a square vignette.

A Happy Macro Monday Everyone ;-)
