"A true friend is someone who thinks that you're a good egg, even though they know you are slightly cracked" - Bernard Meltzer

A colleague of mine recently had great success with a photo of an egg. It was simply a perfect capture - broken open with yoke and shell expertly exposed on a reflective surface. I wanted to try a similar shot, but with the shell intact . . . lit with two flashes and standing on end. How do you get an egg to stand on end? Go ahead, try it . . . it's an old bar bet. Email me and I'll tell you how to do it . . . :-)

Captured with the Nikon 50mm prime at 60th of a second at f/4. Lit with two Nikon Speedlight controlled by the SU800 commander. ISO is down to 100.
