Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

October 16, 2007 |

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

OMG I am totally impressed. Great you guys . I liked it more because i first thought of the lid was a chef hat. Great JB

ramya says:

wow……….looking good both pics and idea of replacement nice

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.

Kaykat says:

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

grihini says:

:bow: Oh great Jai who orders eggs to stand and they do, could you order up blue skys, white fluffy clouds and the tide to be right so I can go out and take pics of the gannett colony this weekend? Or is that a little much? Ta PP

roopa says:

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: :)
