The egg was photographed indoors using window light.Time
Afternoon.Lighting
Factors in using available light: 1. which way the window is facing. 2. time of day. 3. how far from the window the subject is.Equipment
Nikon D750 on a tripod with a Sigma 105mm macroInspiration
Years ago I wrote a poem about an egg. There is something special about an egg; shape, form, color, texture --- just it's being.Editing
Only a slight crop.In my camera bag

The driving force for any great image is an emotional connection. What does the egg mean to me. The second step converts that emotional connection via the creative process using light to capture the essence of the subject. The third step is using the camera's capability and lens choice to tell the story. The magic of the mind sees before a camera ever plays a role. Anyone can shoot an egg. Think before shooting: Why is my egg different than anyone else's?
