Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
October 16, 2007 |
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall …
All the King’s horses
and all the King’s men
Could not put Humpty together again …
So they hired a replacement.
How I took this picture:
Took an egg (actually, two) from Bee’s picture setting.
Placed a ceramic lid on a black granite tile with a black cloth backdrop.
Closed all the blinds (with a tiny bit of light streaming through) and made the room dark and spooky.
Placed the egg on the lid.
Ordered the egg to stand still.
Clicked with a 70-200mm lens at f/11 and 30-second exposure, ISO 100.
Camera: Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel

Okay, so who is going to guess how the egg manages to stay upright??

OMG I am totally impressed. Great you guys . I liked it more because i first thought of the lid was a chef hat. Great JB
wow……….looking good both pics and idea of replacement nice
:rofl:
Am I just sleepy and having double vision or the second picture has two eggs? Or is that the soul coming out of an egg?
there’s a disturbance in the force. it makes inji come out of hiding. it makes the souls of eggs wander through the universe aimlessly. that’s what it is. - b.
This is awesome! Wow! I’m staring at these pictures for the tenth time today
ha haaa Nice one…
it is simple yet stunning picture!
:bow: Oh great Jai who orders eggs to stand and they do, could you order up blue skys, white fluffy clouds and the tide to be right so I can go out and take pics of the gannett colony this weekend? Or is that a little much? Ta PP
Hi Jai,
That is a very thoughtful and creative post
I liked the second pic a lot 
The poor eggs looked so shaky and frightened :huh: ….. was wondering how you ordered them to sit straight :hmm:
