That egg thing

I think this eggs in a glass thing was started by David Mingay with the wonderful shot **here**.
But it was Jim B's great shot **here** that inspired me.
Really Jim - now you are living in the UK you need some British Binge Drinking glasses like this. Four eggs and still room for wine!

I should have read David's explanation of how he lit his and maybe (but only maybe) I wouldn't have taken a million shots and then given up trying not to have the light reflected in the glass. Never mind.

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel

Right! I'm out to buy some eggs....
Guest 13-Jan-2005 22:06
Good idea! This works well, I find it so hard to come up with new ideas!

Gail ... you have made me feel so, so, so INFERIOR! Sigh ... SOB!

Actually, my wife says that, even after 10 years in the UK, I cannot hope to keep up with the average Brit when it comes to swilling wine. I think the technical term is 'lightweight'. Perhaps that's why she restricts me to such small glasses.

I think you have taken the eggs in a wine glass genre yet a step further. Where will it go next?

David's right -- that is a HUGE glass you have!
David Mingay13-Jan-2005 21:37
4 eggs? That's quite a wine glass you've got there!
