Description
Thank you for stopping for a closer look. Suggestions on how to improve images are always welcome.
This is a very old can of paprika that was in the cupboard when we bought this house. The house is about 50 years old and i think this can is close to the same. the 15c price is a giveaway its been around for a while.
My reason for posting such a simple item is more to get suggestions on types of postwork people would have used if trying to present this can. Also type of background that you would set it against.
Any help offered will be welcomed.
Thank you in advance.
Jim

In a way I think it stands alone..I would fill the frame with it for sure.
cool shot !! I will think about suggestions
Nice photo Jim, that can really is in perfect condition
I like the way you've presented this! simple and direct! My only suggestion at this point is to just experiment both in the backgrounds and settings and postwork
Oh my first thought was "What a find". We aren't much for antiques but this caught my eye. 15c was before I had any use for Paprika. Reminds me of a tin that was in what they used to call a "Dry Goods Store",even before the "Five&Dime Stores". I am a little proud of this little tin.. Great capture Jim. Have a great day okay. As u know I will be leaving in awhile to go our daughter and our 3 grand-daughters. Will return on Sunday after the Easter Bunny visits their home!!!! Love and Hugs..
Used to work in a grocery store way back when they used the hand stamp price guns that where made of all metal.Where as the numbers had the tumble dials you had to turn in order to achieve the price you needed....That in itself shows how old this spice container is...As for some feedback...Since the object(container)is eggshell in color whether from being old or from fading I think it would of stood out more with a white or soft brown or even a pale blue BG to give the object some distance so the eyes focused on it more than with the BG you chose as it distracts from the object your displaying.Of course this is only my opinion which and is how I would of approached it....(smiles).... Thanks for the trip back in time Jim!...Rare find in that cabinet for sure!
Kitchen background... I hope you have a wonderful time with your family This Easter!! :)
Great find excellent capture !!
I like this old tin, looks good where it is :o)
OH...IT HAS ITS OWN'S HISTORY!!!!VERY NICE CAPTURE!!!HAPPY EASTER!!!
I really like old tins. Although your presentation is great, I think I would have stood it by a dish of Hungarian Goulash...take this link and next time we speak I shall expect to see your authentic goulash. heh heh..... http://www.budapest-tourist-guide.com/hungarian-goulash.html Have a good weekend:-)
Great capture! :) Practice a lot with the Manual settings, you can get better results then what the Auto will give you. Don't be afraid to experiment. :)
Excellent shot, amazing old find my friend, great shot!
kinda pricey. interesting pic.
I like how you have presented this old tin against the great background. It makes you focus on the tin. I like this how you have done it and the tin is an interesting one too.
wonderful capture!!
Oh, how I love your posting is today, Jim. A very special can and item. Would love if it was my own ;-) Precious!
Maybe a Mother Hubbard theme, open plain wood cabinet and the only thing in it the Paprika Tin (the cupboard was bare) Peace
