Day 198 - Macro Week - Eggstatic!

I really am ecstatic that I have been able to carry forth with the macro theme for the week.  Although, this isn't macro photography by any stretch of imagination, I still used the macro lens and had to deal with the 90 mm constraint.  I am glad I took this up, because it's really challenged my creativity to come up with images that are constrained by both lens and lighting.  I will definitely have to find something for the rest of the week, and ideas are greatly welcome!

I used a similar light set up as I did yesterday - lit the subject from beneath and softened the light with a sheet of parchment paper.

These eggs came from a coworker's farm and besides enhancing the contrast and saturation a bit, nothing much has been done to the colours - they naturally look so colourful!  (See my older post for another set of images of an earlier lot of eggs. )
