Eggs

Get Pushed Challenge #553
My Get Pushed partner challenged me to take a photo that uses rim lighting. I found this challenging trying to get the backlighting or rim lighting bright without being too bright. This may not be the best example or even what is expected when one sees the phrase rim lighting, but technically it fits the definition.

52 Week Challenge - Week 7 Eggs
I'm really behind in this, so hopefully I can catch up this week.

@dkbarnett I took a stab at this. It really wasn't what I had in my head so I may try the challenge again sometime this week.Thank you for the push to try something different.

What a fantastic subject Kathy. I really like the composition!

[Kathy]

@grammyn Thank you Katy. Just happened to have a few boiled eggs hanging around.

[Babs]

Nicely done and you get to eat your photo subject when you have finished too

[Shutterbug]

I love the background color you chose. It sets off the subjects nicely.

[Kathy]

@onewing I could. Just add a little Miracle Whip and voila, egg salad. Thank you.
@shutterbug49 Thank you Debbie.

[Fran Balsera]

Very creative. I like the combination of colours. Congrats.

[Kathy A]

I have no idea what rim lighting is but I like your shot

[bkb in the city]

Well done

[Issi Bannerman]

Nicely done.

[Renee Salamon]

Very nice - the egg is beautifully haloed

[Wylie]

well met

[Susan Wakely]

I especially like the egg on the left.

[Dawn]

I have no idea of rim lighting but a nice image

[Kathy]

@franbalsera Thank you Fran.
@kjarn Essentially rim lighting is when the subject is lit from behind but the viewer can't see the source of the light. I did this but had perhaps too much other light from another source as well. Thanks Kathy
@bkbinthecity Thank you Brian.
@jamibann Thanks Issi.
@rensala Thanks Renee. I was hoping the others would be also, but placement and other lighting may have interferred with that idea.
@pusspup Thanks Wylie.
@wakelys Thank you very much Sue.
@Dawn I described in above to @kjarn. Thank you for your comment.

[Sally Ings]

Fun response to your get pushed challenge and for the 52 week challenge prompt

[Tunia McClure]

You take on some challenging challenges.

[Margaret Brown]

Nicely done!

[haskar]

Lovely still life shot.

[Pyrrhula]

A nice display of the eggs and a great capture of those.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

While you don't see the highlighted edge of your subject like you do in most rim lighting photos, the set-up is well done and the back lighting gives the egg cup and eggs a decent glow.

[Delwyn Barnett]

Thanks for doing the challenge Kathy. It does look as though it could be a bit tricky! I am thinking that maybe I should try doing the challenges myself too before I set it for someone else! Your image does make a nice still life.

[Kathy]

@salza Appreciate that Sally.
@tunia The challenges keep my mind busy and most times are fun and a learning experience.
@craftymeg Thanks Meg.
@haskar Thank you Hannah.
@pyrrhula Thank you Ferry.
@olivetreeann Thank you for the feedback Ann. I think I was expecting more of the highlighted edges and couldn't seem to get to that point. I (hopefully) learned from this and can apply it to another photo in the future.
@dkbarnett Thank you Delwyn. Remind me of this challenge the next time you and I are paired. (Payback and all that. 🤣🤣)

[FBailey]

Great idea! And it's edible!

[Kathy]

@fbailey Two were uncooked but the hard boiled one was eaten afterward. thank you.

[Tom]

Love it

[Mary Siegle]

Eggs-cellent work! Super impressive. I especially like the one you cut open—the little bit of yellow added to the white and blue.

[Kathy]

@tosee @mcsiegle Thank you Tom and Mary.
