Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

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

- Jai

DEADLINE: October 20, 2007

  44. Inji Pennu on October 17, 2007 9:02 pm

    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.

  45. Kaykat on October 18, 2007 12:30 pm

    This is awesome! Wow! I’m staring at these pictures for the tenth time today :)

    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: :)
