8 January

OK, I know the drill by now. Take three eggs, add one wine glass and .... oops! Our wine glasses are
a bit too small for three eggs. Oh well ....

I have always wanted to try this. I prefer the colour version, but for the purists, click below to see the black and white:

Gail Davison09-Jan-2005 10:59
I agree with others this is fantastic. So life I'm sitting here ready to catch that egg.
Guest 09-Jan-2005 03:19
Love this one,Jim!!! How did you balance the eggs like that? Wow! I like the colored version better. Hhhhmmmm, I wanted to try this brown eggs for my egg pics but didn't have any at home. Well done!
Guest 09-Jan-2005 03:15
Wow..how did you do that :) Great photo! I also like the color version.
Cheryl Hawkins09-Jan-2005 02:10
Both are great! I also like the feeling of holding my breath when I look at this for fear I will somehow knock the egg out of the glass!
Karen Leaf09-Jan-2005 01:44
I'm impressed. Only 1??
I'm doubly impressed, no glue?

I'm triply impressed-super job, in both color and b/w.

This is cool!
David Mingay08-Jan-2005 23:17
Y'need a bigger glass, Jim! ... ;-)
Jim B08-Jan-2005 22:24
I am offended that some of you may think that I used artificial substances in the making of this image. Really, I balanced the egg all by myself. And I only broke one. Honest!
Edouard Lomont08-Jan-2005 22:18
Do you know Mister NEWTON and Mister Christopher COLUMBUS ? Nice !
Guest 08-Jan-2005 22:17
Did you use glue??
Guest 08-Jan-2005 22:06
Heheh, if the weather is bad you can always take pictures of eggs!! This is an eggcellent effort (sorry LOL)!
Dawn08-Jan-2005 22:06
