we're talking eggs

hi there

happiest saturday.....

as i mentioned yesterday, i am taking candc's photography class.

and here i am.... 5:30 pm... just getting my homework posted.... 

gosh darn i can be a pokey girl....

we were to photograph a white egg and then add a colored egg.

really?  i wasn't sure what to expect.  but i was happy to give it a try.

so i took some black and white background images from different light angles. 

here they are.  i used my sketch book for the black backdrop.  the chippy white is the top of an old

steel washtub on our front porch.

i then pulled out my paper mache easter eggs and took a few pics that i wanted to share.

irene got in on the action.

then a gust of wind came along....wooo... hang on irene.....

pulled out the little egg cups, and set them on the vintage scale

thought i'd take the "real egg" on a little tour....

add a little more excitement to it's day...seeing as tomorrow, you know.....

scrambled eggs for breakfast... :)

so we visited the river rocks.

spent a few moments with the paper mache eggs.

took a moment to appreciate the simple things

who knew, eggs could be so much fun...

thanks bunches carolyn!

can't wait to see what camilla has planned for this week....

happiest saturday....

xxo, kim

this was so much fun....they have classes at school where the kids have to keep an egg safe for a day...this reminded me of that and made me smile lots

Great collage. My fav from that set is the bottom middle. I like how the shadow is bend in three directions. The scale pic is priceless...and the last pic, is wonderful in composition and framing.

Impossible to pick a favourite - your photos are all amazing! I love the different kind of eggs mixed together in the first photo, the chipped steel as a background, the juxtaposition of the fragile egg and hard rocks in the bowl and what you did with focus in the egg on book!

[Jane]

Your photos are amazing, love them all. The colors are lovely and the items used are great. It feels like reading an egg fairy tale.

[Christina Greve]

Kim I love how you work with the light and show different backdrops! You captures those eggs beautifully. I especially love the eeg on the book picture :-)

[Lady B]

I love your photography and am very glad that you decided to join C&C photography as it means I've met your blog. I love your scales picture - Sigh.

[Jane]

Your macros are incredible, as is your texturing. Nice to meet you!

I am amazed by all the textures. They do such different things to those eggs than I could have imagined.
