Challenge: In the Beginning... (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Nikon D70
Location: Home
Date: Mar 27, 2005
Aperture: 1.8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 125

 First thing that came to mind with this challenge was a lighted egg with the shadow of whatever is inside showing through, so...tada.

Process:
Cut out "access hole" in egg with dremel and drained the egg
Cut small blob like thing out of black construction paper, put a small amount of adhesive on it and stuck it inside the egg.
Inserted a plain white christmas lite inside through the sheet and up into the egg. Hid the remaining lights with the remaining black construction paper.

Cropped and adjusted levels.

Nice job. I like the candling of the egg. Haven't seen this from anyone else. Focus seems just a bit soft on the egg.

where did you get that title from...?

Image is a bit soft and looks a bit manufactured - though an excellent idea. foireground blur is distracting.

marked you fairly high because it isnt your average egg shot

Nice execution of this idea. Definitely more than a snap! Good presentation of the subject.

very nice...curious how this was done. Would like to see a bit more contrast between the egg and the sheet that it is on...just my opinion though.
