Lighting IS everything - egg color

Birch Run Farm:
I wish I was a photo expert, lighting IS everything:









Same eggs!

Mike Gilbert:
Ann, are the eggs in the last basket shown the same as the eggs in the other baskets?   How about the second basket?

Here are 3 pics of the same egg from last May.  I took them to show the crack in the shell and used 3 different flash settings.

Birch Run Farm:
All the same eggs!  The small group in the white colander are the darkest and richest colored from the big egg basket.  The flash totally washed them out.  

If you look at the photo with the dark back gound, top view of the basket, that produced the color that I see when looking at the eggs.

Now, these photos are from just the other day.  My hatching eggs from later in the season rarely look this nice.  That is the reason I take early season photos to show buyers the difference.

The blue eggs are araucana and BW ameraucana and the dark eggs are French cuckoo marans and a few X mutts for other colors.

Beth C:
I hate when anyone asks about egg color, because no one ever sees it the same, and I have yet to get a picture that looks like what I see, so I\'ve taken to doing this. Hopefully whatever the lighting does to the egg, it also does to the card, so someone at least has a ballpark idea...
