.. I can't tell you how impressed I am
(& yes, salt & pepper shakers like this ARE
in order - just make the pepper one a little
more black, so people don't keep insisting
it's a meatball).

And for the love of all that is holy, make the pepper shaker so that one can actually shake pepper out of it, i.e. not with one .5mm hole like most of the ones you see in stores.

(That's an amazing picture, and yes, I too want a picture of your lens lashup).

I've never understood why so many pepper shakers are built so they're so hard to get the pepper out of, while so many salt shakers will dump far too much salt out at once if you move your hand wrong.

I've been thinking I should re-shoot this paying particular attention to finding a pepper grain that has a bit of the outside surface of the peppercorn attached, to get some of the colour people associate with black pepper in there. (At the time it was hard enough just finding the one I'd pushed next to the salt while looking through the macro rig. At that magnification, a few square inches feels like an awfully large area to search around in.)

I'm liking this salt&pepper shakers idea more and more.
