Photo 365: Day 147 – Simplicity
Not much inspiration for today’s post.
Got really tired after workout this evening and as I was fixing my fried eggs had this idea popped in my head to shoot fried eggs. I am not a big fan of half-cooked fried eggs but had it that way for the shoot – as I want the yolks to have the shiny look.
It was a bit harder than I thought as the camera got fooled by whites on the egg white and black on the cast iron pan. So had this shot using spot metering (took the meter reading from one of the yolk) and used the white reflectors to eliminate shadows.
Now only if these eggs could smile…to make this a smiley face 🙂
Well, I’m glad I’m not the only one that has days with no inspiration. I’ve done the same thing — grabbed something close by. Nice color.
I guess we all hit the “no inspiration” phase at some point or another 😉
I love the (I assume) pepper details! Being in that no-inspiration-rut sucks, but I’m sure it will end soon enough for you!
maybe you were short on inspiration but at least you learnt a little bit more about exposure and lighting that will surely come in handy
this is great… I can kinda see a face just as the eggs are. (Maybe that’s just me 🙂
You did a good job on these eggs!
Nice image. Food isn’t always easy to capture but you did it. That pepper adds interest to the image too.
Even non-inspiring days are learning experiences! I’m glad you took the time to get it right and learn more about correct exposure and using a reflector.
