Week 50 and the theme is "Inanimate." Since this week's theme was almost synonymous with "still life photography," I decided to do some research to determine the difference between the two genres. After reading a few blogs, I realized that there wasn't much difference between the two, and that it was mostly subject to interpretation. Thus, I decided to keep my concept as simple as possible.

        Even though the capture seems fairly simple, it was a bit tricky to do. Initially, the intertwining forks were further apart. However, when I attempted to balance the egg on the forks, the space between the tips had to be adjusted to accommodate the width of the egg's bottom. Thereafter, I had to slightly shift the egg around until I got it to balance since the yolk inside was moving way too much. After a few seconds, the yolk settled and the egg balanced. 

        Next came trying to figure out the settings for taking the shot as the sunlight was from a window located behind the egg. After a few snaps, the front of the egg was a bit too dark. Eventually, I whipped out my flash, aimed it up at the ceiling and turned it down to -1.5. After a few shots and some minor adjustments to ISO and f/stop, I got a capture I could work with. Then, I quickly edited the image to add a bit more pop, color and structure. The end result is the above image. Here's the original shot and some different edits to the same shot for comparison.
