I am happy to say that the brown egg in yesterday's post was not harmed in the making of the image. I can not say the same for this white egg, but then I could hardly expect it.
This was more countertop fun. I brought in this vice, some vicegrips and a spring clamp in hopes of securing the whisk that I had been using. Then the idea of a hefty looking clamp grasping a delicate egg entered my mind.
A black towel was again used for the background. The vice was being held up by vice-grips clamped onto them and the vice-grips/ clamp combination was prevented from tipping by placing a heavy book on the vice-grips. Kind of a silly setup, but it worked. Again I used a little LCD flashlight that has an option for red light. Processed to taste using masks, both auto and manual and even some spot dodging and burning.
All in all it was a lot of fun and I am very happy with the result.
