5 shots:
basic set up: everything shot against a black background.
all shot with my 50mm/1.4 in all manual mode
- the egg (hollow with a stick held up, light from above and light bounced from the bottom)
- fog (well I have a fog machine, that was the easiest part)
- ground: very fine sand, shaped into these little hills with my finger.
- the crack in the egg: i cut the shape into a black card board, bent the edges away from each other. lit from behind so light could spill through and create the gloom.
- mountains were done the same way. I just used orange and green gels.
converted 5 raw files into individual psd files, worked on each of the files and combined them all into one ps file with lots of layers. placement and tone adjustments are all done in the one combined psd file. layer masks to make the transitions not that obvious.

Beautiful colouring. There is presently a feeling of nocturnal space. The egg floats. I had rather seen the egg in contact with the underlying blue nevel. That gives the more feeling that the egg if spacecraft the worldly atmosphere enters.
