I've been playing about today with some still life with flash.
Would appreciate any advice on avoiding/ minimising the reflections on the salt and pepper cellars, mainly the 2 vertical stripes on the upper half of the pepper (assuming this is direct and incident from the salt and also the hilit areas left and right on the waist of the salt cellar.
I appreciate that this might not be possible just due to the shape and material of the cellars but even confirmation of that would let me stop flogging a dead horse.
Lighting was a speedlight on stand in a bowens collar with a snoot. Speedlight high, 45-60 deg left of camera and centred roughly on the upper half of the salt cellar( I think)
I even put a polariser on the lens but either I wasn't using it correctly or the angle of the reflection was in the wrong direction for the polariser to deal with
