Believe it or not, I set this up in a lighted room. However, the darkness occurred because I placed a reading lamp next to it- the bright white kind, not the small, soft, orange kind. The wood floor made a nice simple background, and I love how it reflects the egg. For this one, it was pointed diagonally downwards toward the bottom of the egg.

The lamp is in the same place, but I moved over to the side. This one is definitely my favorite because its not very dark- there is a softer, warm light on everything. I think this was because the shutter speed was longer, so it let in more light. I have to credit this to the camera, because I had it on auto.

I moved the lamp so that it was lying on the floor, and so it highlighted the bottom of the egg. I also moved the camera so that I was shooting more from above. It put half of the egg in bright light, but then the other half is in almost complete darkness.

The lamp was still on the floor, and I was in almost the same position, but I moved down and farther towards the dark. This gave the egg a neat half-moon look, and it highlighted only a small section of the floor. Most of it is very dark, which makes a nice contrasting, yet simple, background.

For this one, I moved the lamp so that it was shining down from above. This put most of the top of the egg in light, and a lot of the floor around it, and created minimal shadowing around it. I do like the surrounding blackness on the edge from where the light didn't go, and the egg's shadow is very clean and small, which is good for this picture.

I really liked this photo challenge. It was really fun, but easy to do in a short amount of time.
