It's a normal brown chickenegg. From a "Barnevelder" chicken(dutch race). Most eggs sold in Holland are brown. the egg stands on a paperclip. Top light= TL Front/left light= Videolamp (battery almost empty, so that's why it looks so orange) held in my left hand. Background= plain A4 sheet i took from my printer.
I love most of the colors in this one. I would have eliminated more blue light to make for a more monochromatic composition, and maybe turned the light up a notch to produce more distinct shadows.
Nice shot, well taken. I have to ask, what kind of egg? Your lighting suggests you have altered the color a little, but still this can't be a "regular" white egg. I do like your choice of lighting and background. Simple and nice. Score raised from 7 to 8. Swash
I particularily like this cause it's standing up and you can't see what's making it stand up. I'm not quite sure if you have 2 light sources there, or if there is a shadow, and a reflection. I think it's a reflection, and I think that it would be a very powerful egg if it were just standing there by its self with no reflection. I've never photographed an egg, so I don't know the difficulty involved in removing that reflection, so if it can't be avoided, I still like it. Good job and good luck.
I would've liked to see this one in b&w. It's such a minimal photo with great lighting and no distractions that I think minimizing the tones would emphasize your approach even more. And maybe shooting it horizontally to get the entire shadow in might've been interesting as well.
Nice but I want to see the egg and all it's shadow or just the egg centred. This feels lopsided to me. Also, the highlight on the egg seems too orangey compared with the rest of the egg shell - is contrast set high? 6, Kavey
