Remember the photo assignments I did a few months ago? Well, they're baaaack!! Happy Dance! Yep, Camilla and Carolyn have joined forces as C and C Photography, and have developed new assignments to help us hone our photo skills over the next few weeks.
The first assignment: the egg.
Briefly, we were to take an egg, photograph it on black and on white, then continue to take images as we wished.
I love eggs. You know I love eggs. I bake just to photograph eggs. I was eggstatic over this assignment. You can click on any of the images below to enlarge them and get a better view if you desire.
I did have one little accident...thank goodness I thought to use hardboiled eggs!
In my still life class, we've been discussing collages. I wanted to try placing the eggs on a page and make a still life collage. I was playing with the light a little to give the image a dynamic quality...I like the bottom panel with the shadows better, what do you think?
I think the light from the setting sun enhanced the images below.
I hope you enjoyed my egg pics! Please check out C and C photography, and see what the other folks did with their eggs! I'm sure you won't be disappointed!
Have a great rest of your weekend! xo
So beautiful. And what could be better than eggs and chocolate -- the perfect start or finish to any recipe. A lovely grouping -- particularly like the egg with the lacy leaf. Great contrast.
ReplyDeleteWhy thanks. I DID enjoy those egg pictures. Who would have thought you could get so creative with an egg. Well, we're talking YOU, so "Very Creative" is what we got!!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your photos, the first one is my favourite. Your backs and whites are perfect. I found that hard to achieve.

Gail...beautiful work. Love how you did your inspiring grids. I think you creativity really shines thru. h
ReplyDeleteHow fun that you are taking a still life class too. Very interesting light play with the b&W shots,gorgeous indoor and out in nature imagery.
I do like! Egg in a pocket! And the cooking sequence makes me hungry. And the leaves...I love it all.
ReplyDeletei keep saying wow at everyone's egg photos! the top one is beautiful...and my faves are the still life ones....i also prefer the lower one with the shadows. shadows are always interesting to me!! good thinking on hard boiling. i had a close call too, but i caught it!
ReplyDeleteBravo, Gail! Love them all, especially the two with the shadows.
ReplyDeletelove the outdoor eggs. and the broken one I can almost taste.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tonality and color choices. Every one is exquisite. Kudos!
ReplyDeleteJust love your accidented egg!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great work you've done, they are all so inspiry!
I like your egg accident as well. I also agree, the shadows with the stilllife makes the whole composition a little more interesting. Really beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteLove the outdoors ones! Your photos are always fun to see.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your pictures :)
ReplyDeleteEspecially your still life!!!
The egg in the sea shell photo took my breath away. beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd I absolutely love the photo of your broken egg. The yellow is so vivid. I´d love to know what background you used and your light source.
Your photos are beautiful and your exposure looks great!
ReplyDeletei agree the light from the sun worked beautifully for those last photos. i really like the detail of the lacy leaf against the egg.
ReplyDeletethe black and whites are beautiful. great exposure!
Your cracked egg photo is wonderful! It fed my current need for all things yellow. Must have something to do with daffodil time.
ReplyDeleteConnie
Very beautiful white black
ReplyDeleteOh... great pleasure to see your work
Love your amazing and very inspiring photos. The white looks so pure and fragile and the light and shadows are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI truly enjoyed your images! They are so wonderfully created and well thought out! The last grid is my favorite! Can't wait for next week!
ReplyDeleteLove the broken egg, the yellow and salt are beautiful. Of course now I am hungry. What a wonderful bunch of images.
ReplyDeleteYour setting sun pictures are spectacular. It's interesting to see eggs in the kitchen, too... and especially the broken one!
ReplyDeleteGreat shadows on your black and whites! And, yes, I like the shadowed panel on your trio the best, too. The simple brown against your white egg in the outdoor series is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThe egg in a sea shell is wonderful and I really like the last gird - the colors are wonderful. All are beautiful. Great!
ReplyDeletei love these posts about your class assignments!
ReplyDeletei have one question about taking photos for assignments; are you allowed to edit them in photoshop to finalize or do you need to show them as final the way they come out of the camera? (i.e., the only enhancement being your framing and use of light and objects?)
i hope that's not a dumb ignorant question!
Aren't those all so lovely!! I love the last few.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your photos. Awesome lighting and compositions. That cracked open hard boiled egg is very cool and the nature egg collage is great. How delicate the see thru leaf look over the delicate shell of the egg.
ReplyDelete:)Lisa
Your B&Ws are stunning - love the shadow play on the white background, and the button in the bottom-right photo!
ReplyDeleteThe broken egg with the delicate, silky looking soft yellow peeling out against the harder yellow is so beautiful! Happy accidents!
And egg in nature - very moving (somehow)!
Love the outside shots against the brown. Nice use of light. and nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteStunning...I really did enjoy your photos. The egg peek out the pocket is fantastic. The nature and egg photos are really stunning.
ReplyDeletePS: forgot to say that I like the boiled egg photo also.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a creative job here.great first assignment~!
ReplyDeletethese are amazing! such beauty here.
ReplyDeleteso nice to "meet" you. : )
That last outdoor set is my favorite. Great photos, and what a fun assignment!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Gail! I like how you used different spaces in you white point shots. The top image is enchanting and the broken egg makes me hungry. The cookbook shots and grid are fun. The red lettering is a nice touch. I think I prefer the top shot-- the shadows are fun, but a little confusing, as far as images go, since there are several strong elements in the image.
ReplyDeleteThe leafy grid is very pretty-- nice touches!
The photos are fantastic!! WOW!!
ReplyDeleteLove the white one white on white shot! Beautiful:)
ReplyDeleteI'm not participating in the workshop but I have been thoroughly enjoying visiting everyone's assignment:)
I love the eggs in the cooking shots and with Chocolate! How fun.
