Egg Project
If you have any questions comment below, and I will try my best to answer them!
An egg project is where you take a 24 good pictures(I took about 74 pictures, and I have so many unsharp duplicates). You will use three eggs(works best with white eggs). Take as many different angles as you would like(I shot from about 40 different angles). Try to make some extreme compositions without ever actually moving the eggs(just crop with your camera). Do not change the position of your light. Using different custom white balances, you can change the eggs color so in this way you're not actually using a editing program in any such way for the project. Use a black background, and a white foreground(this works best with a desk light(ambient) that you can plugin.
For Aperture try sticking between f/2.8-f/8, and for shutter speed try sticking between 1/60-1/1250 and for ISO try sticking between ISO 200-400.
Try it out, tell me what you think. I promise you will learn so much from this little lighting exercise!
The link that is above will take you to a site where you can see my project.
jewels Cool idea! I will give it a try one of these days :-)
jewels I am not sure what you mean with your white foreground and black background and it is difficult to tell how you set it up from your photos (that's probably the whole point)? Could you give me a bit more info?
VIVID EXPOSURE Sure, what would you like to know about the project? The white is what the eggs are set on(it creates better shadows, and the black is in the background it absorbs the extra light.
jewels Thanks! If I understand correctly, you have white horizontally, and black as a vertical background?
VIVID EXPOSURE Yup!
jewels thanks :-)

jazzie During my studies I had to do this once with 2 eggs. I think one of them was cooked, the other wasn't. We were allowed to move the eggs. It was a very interesting experience :)
