Photographic Art: Easter Eggs in Basket

IMG0024

Julie dyed some of our hens' eggs using food coloring. I really liked the effect. The basket is the basket we use to collect the eggs. The arrangement of the eggs is how I found the basket. I took the picture using the little flexible tripod Julie gave me for my birthday. The picture is lit using available light and taken using the self timer to accomodate a very slow shutter speed. This is taken using the standard lens on the camera, not any sort of macro lens. I was surprised that the lens could focus this closely.
