Egg, white.
:)

I don't know if this does anything for the viewer. Perhaps changing the lighting to more sharply bring out the texture on the egg shell might be in order?

    that's an idea, and I like this actually. ever seen an egg strongly lit from the back so that you can see the insides? might make for an interesting repetition of shape with the yolk and the shell.

    how'd you get the egg to stand up like that? headscratch.gif

    I was thinking the opposite - make the lighting bring out only the shape. The bumpy surface is rather unappealing... to me.

    works for me!

    I instantly thought of seeing a 15' print of it hanging in the Guggenheim. clap.gif

    Lots and lots of patience! :D

    If you're very very steady, you can make eggs, brooms, and other things stand on an end... It's even possible to stand the egg on the narrower end, but that's more patience than I had this morning!

    I really like this shot. The simplicity of the subject and the lighting worked great.

    It would surely have been a winner if you were allowed to enter the contest!ne_nau.gif

    Congrats again on your last winclap.gif

    Is that a dinosaur egg?

    good idea, but don't let it hatch.

    I'm sure it's just me but, what about a single "crack" on the egg ?? eek7.gif

    I thought the same thing this morning, and tried to put that single dramatic crack...

    It turns out that making such a crack is no easy task... I ended up making breakfast, and called it a shoot. rolleyes1.gif

    Joe, thanks for sharing your set-up. Amazing how good the lighting looks, given your limited tools. Nice job! The white on white is a really good idea.
