Thematic Photographic #161 White (The Egg Project)

Playing along with Carmi's Thematic Photographic http://writteninc.blogspot.com/2011/09/thematic-photographic-161-white.html  and more WHITE!

    Yes, I'm hooked on Carmi's TP challenge it just opens so many open doors you have to enter.  Last night one of TP's followers, Max (also one of my favorite bloggers) after viewing a few car photos of mine he was reminded of a project in a Photography class he took at the university so he shared it with me.

He was supposed to photograph a white egg on a white background and you could only use salt to hold it up.  So without a doubt I just had to try it too.  Max was right it was loads of fun.  Strangely enough one egg was lost in the process, oops. 

Doesn't this sound like fun?  Well another fave blogger of mine Bob S. also a TP follower has commented that he too will give it a try.  I hope you do Bob!

Here we go .....eggs away!

It's all about the lighting. This table is the color of an egg!


Very little salt .... is the key.


Other than what's outside the window everything is egg shell white, but the lighting can fool you.  Can you see any of the salt holding up the egg?  Well, it's there and if you click larger, will you see it then?


I first tried this last night, but my camera was about to die from it's long use at the Zoo, and the electric light wasn't cool; but a couple of shots I took were awesome in a different way from Max's project....see for yourself!



The Moon Shot!  Created by, low light and low battery?  Maybe, and maybe not.

One more from last night with low light and low battery...


See what I mean?  Time permitting for my own purposes I'll try this again later with better light, and possibly less salt too.....it'd be so awesome (not sure if that's what Max's teacher had in mind) but to see the egg against a white background, (still showing no salt) and have it all in their true white color!

So remember any white will do if you feel like sharing or if you just want to scan the many other shades of WHITE go here
