    untitled

    I did actually place the egg inside the whisk without breaking it.

    Indeed, very clever interpretation of your signature dish I would suggest.

    This is so nice! Is the whisk this color or is the brownish color a result of your setup? If it's the latter, is the egg actually white?

    Notice the extreme part of the bottom of the whisk that is closest to the handle. The photo requires serious study at least at this small size to realize that piece isn't cut. If you can enhance that tiny area displaying the curve of that piece of metal, we would instantly know that it isn't cut.

    A very creative effort. Could you give us the EXIF information?

    You can't make a good picture without breaking a few eggs.

    Sorry! I keep forgetting that. F/18 as the DOF was quite deep on the whisk. ISO200, and 1/125s. Shot under studio flash. Placed the egg in the whisk and shot it, the used polar co-ordinates in Photoshop to get the womb-like curve. The black background was some black art-board.

    Canon 5DM2 Canon 100mmL macro.

    Thank you. I think it's a good example of how flash lighting can make something dynamic. I couldn't have done this in natural light.

    Nice Rob. Interesting subject.

    I was wondering about that.

    The egg took on some of the curvature of the warp!

    So what would you say about shooting the whisk such that instead of a sharply defined highlight stripe on the handle you created a gradient leading in to the darker stripe?

    That’s how omelets were invented!

    Did you play it safe and go the hard boiled route or did you take a chance and went RAW?

    The egg was brown. I guess some of that is reflected in the handle.
