Keep in mind that this was 1981, digital cameras were unheard of so we were working with black and white 35mm cameras and we developed our own negatives and pictures.<br />.<br />1. White egg on completely white background.<br />2. Standing up with little to no visible means of support.<br />3. Must see the entire outline of the egg, with as little grey shading as possible.<br />.<br />We took white poster board and curved it to form the bottom and the back in one piece, without creasing it. The egg, like yours, stood on a little salt. We were allowed to manipulate not only the shot, but also the developing of the print, which I guess in today's digital age would allow for the use of any photo software.<br />.<br />That first one of yours is really good, very little shading on the egg itself, and if it weren't in color there would be a lot more white. The last ones show a lot of white, and I think with the curved poster board behind would be great too.<br />.<br />Congratulations, and thanks for bringing me back to my early college days.
