When my dad was learning photography a long time ago, he told me the students had to photograph a white egg on a white background to show their abilty to use lighting effectively. I imagine they had to position 3 lights to get maximum contrast and differentiation from the background.

I didn't try the lighting experiments, but I enjoyed taking pictures of eggs.

tortoise Elegant and serene. I can feel the burnished texture of the eggshells.

monkeyface Subtle and very beautiful. I feel very calm looking at these eggs.

JuliaGotz I didn't think I would get such a warm response to my eggs. Am I the only one who thinks one egg is giving the other a big kiss on the cheek in the third picture?

tortoise Yes. And the recipient is blushing. It's really quite touching. Egg romance.

My mom raises chickens, all sorts. Blue eggs, brown eggs, speckled eggs, green eggs, pink eggs. Pretty much every color egg but white. I am inspired to try a few eggshots next time I visit. Inspiration abounds.

JuliaGotz "Egg romance." Yes, they are eggstatic. Ok, enough! Enough! It's eggcessive.

tortoise Eggreed. Eggregiously eggsecrable, not to mention eggstremely eggshausting.

*eggscoriating you*
