Description
Another glimpse inside the Salt and Pepper Museum, located in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The museum has a collection of over 20,000 pairs of salt and pepper shakers from all over the world. Hope you enjoy. My daughter just got home from her last day of school, and she informed me that she is now a senior wooo hooo!!! congratulations Erin!!
Over 20,000 pairs I had mentioned that most of these were shot through glass cases, which makes it a bit of a challenge, I had a comment from a member, about that issue. So I thought I would share my tips on this: When you need to try and take a photo through glass. There are a few ways to do it. The general rule of thumb is to shoot at an 45 degree angle to the glass. If you absolutely must use a flash, this will help keep it from blowing back into the camera and creating that big white glare. The second option is to use a rotating "polarizing filter". This is a filter you screw on to the end of your lens. It is generally used to help enhance the sky in photographs, but can also do an amazing job of eliminating reflections - just rotate it until the reflections are minimized and shoot away! hope those help...

First .. thanks for the tips on shooting through glass! Second, I think everyone of us is a secret salt and pepper shaker collector to some degree!! Some of us end up with museums, some of us are able to house our collections on one shelf in a curio cabinet. I'm not naming names. grins. Hope your collection continues to grow!

very cute shakers and I use the same approach for glass windows and when I can, I will place the lens on the glass directly, so the flash will work

You've done an excellent job shooting through the glass if you hadn't mentioned it I would not have noticed. Wonderful series and great fun at this museum. Your tips are very helpful as well.
