Go to work on an egg by judithg

Go to work on an egg

I've been enjoying the various 'white on white' photos that have been posted recently and, scouting around at home for a shot, I spotted one of our hen's eggs and thought it was worth a go. This one was laid by our White Leghorn named Powerz Dragonslayer by Adam (the other two are Betty and Frankie named by Rachel and myself). I'm pleased with my shot although the background is rather grey and I haven't decided whether I like the strong shadow. Anyway - I can pack my camera for Marrakech now! Hope you all have a good week and see you when I get back. And @happypat have a great trip to NZ!!
Fantastic name I couldn't have chosen a better one myself :D
I love the shadow gives it a nice contrast, enjoy Marrakech!

White on white is so difficult, and this one turned out great with all these different shades of white. It's beautiful! Have a good time in Marrakech; can't wait to see the pictures! ;-)

Very beautiful, very delicate!

Enjoy the holiday, sounds wonderful. I like the shadow, love the hen's name and think you did a great job here!

I love W on W shots but I have not had any successful ones yet. I see what you mean about the shadow, I struggle with shadows too, but this one fills the frame nicely ;) Enjoy Morocco. Can't wait to see your pics.

Awesome shadows!
February 14th, 2012  
This made me smile after my efforts! I thought an egg would be a good idea.....all mine were brown! lol I love the effect of this style....great shadows. Still green here but........have a brilliant trip...can't wait to see all those spicy warm pictures!
February 14th, 2012  
excellent! and no better start to the day!
February 14th, 2012  
Wonderful shadows. I love the way it goes perpendicular in shape to the egg. Lucky you having chickens. Have a wonderful trip

So simple but so effective

@Cherrill You'll have to try brown on brown Cherrill!
February 14th, 2012  
Bubba would love to experiment with that one!
February 14th, 2012  
@judithg mmmm...getting an idea now.....thanks!
February 14th, 2012  
lovely shadow and white on white - hope yo have a great holiday
February 14th, 2012  
I was just thinking with the popularity of brown eggs I rather like this clean pure white egg & you don't often see them... good old Powerz Dragonslayer !! This is very nice & I have been enjoying @anna's pale shots too although she hasn't posted for a while.
Thank you for your good wishes & have a great time in Marrakeck would think your photo's from there will be full of exotic colours & the complete opposite to today's picture !

@happypat I'm hoping so Pat - that's partly what I was thinking - calm before the storm!

Jo
My chooks just lay brown ones :/ I don't think a brown egg would have the same impact.

oooo Marrakech - enjoy!
February 14th, 2012  
Oh yes love this! I really like the almost circular egg shadow. Interesting stuff!
February 14th, 2012  
Very effective picture Powerz Dragonslayer must be pleased to have her egg on 365 lol... happy travels .
February 14th, 2012  
Happy hols, Judith. A lovely simple shot.
February 14th, 2012  
looks suspended in the air. AWESOME. GREAT capture.
February 14th, 2012  
aaw you're a good egg. Good job though. Does look pretty white which is always difficult indoors. New camera serving you well. Expecting to see more colour in your next shot. Hope you have a great time!
February 14th, 2012  
I like the shadows and there's a lovely pinky glow to one side.
February 14th, 2012  
Simply beautiful. Elegant (eggalant?).
February 14th, 2012  
@busylady Glad you spotted that - I didn't notice till I tried a boost and then I realised you could see the yoke in the photo just from natural light! It made me happy!
February 14th, 2012  
WOnderful white on white, Judith - love the shadow - makes for a more interesting picture. Enjoy your vacation!
February 14th, 2012  
I like the shadows. You actually have two different shaped ones there. They break up the white, nice shot.
February 14th, 2012  
This is cool! I like the shadow
February 14th, 2012  
haha awesome! simplicity at its best. Love that name for the hen too.
February 14th, 2012  
Love the shadow and the hint of colour on the dark side of the egg. Nice deep yellow yolk I guess?
February 14th, 2012  
Great shadows!
February 15th, 2012  
Wow - another stunning eggshot by you :). I'd love to hang that one and the other one (the one with the tadpole) up as a diptych in my kitchen ;). Fav for me for a superb composition. Have loads of fun abroad and a safe trip!
February 15th, 2012  
Love it. Asks great questions
February 15th, 2012  
Like the pink shades on the egg.
February 15th, 2012  
Loving the white on white. Great shot
February 15th, 2012  
Fancy name!!! Like the composition and the whole idea! Enjoy your trip!! Can't wait to see the pics you bring back.
February 16th, 2012  
Well with that cool name it had to produce a brilliant egg :-) Love this with the shadow! great composition!! Have a great time in Marrakech!!
February 16th, 2012  
This is beautiful. It's art.
February 18th, 2012
