Natural Light Still Life

     Before we started using the view camera we had one last chance to use our cameras for a natural light still life assignment.  I literally shot this two hours before class and grabbed the first thing I saw in my kitchen.

Eggs!

       Well, I'm back in school and this quarter my photography class focuses on still life! Yay! I really enjoy still life so I'm excited about this class, but I know it will be very detail oriented and stressful.  For this class I am not using my digital DSLR camera, but instead we have to use a view camera. A view camera looks very old school but the ones we use have been modified to shoot straight to the computer.  Its so technical and difficult learning this new monster but it's exciting at the same time.
       For our first assignment we had to photograph and egg.  The only rules were it had to be in black and white and there could only be three objects in the frame. I decided to hard boil my egg and then drop it on the table... This is what I shot!

I used a technique known as rise and fall.
