Members Jeff Leites Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 I heard you can balance an egg on it's end during the equinox, and thought I'd give it a try. As usual, I got confused, and did it the hard way, I balanced it on the small end. It took about a minute (or less). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, I did my research after I took the picture, but I didn't want to unveil the equinox mystic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jeff Leites Posted September 23, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 Long as I gots me some Photoshop, I can balance eggs any damn way I feel like it. I tried to balance another one in surroundings that would be hard to fake, but I couldn't do it. The one in the picture isn't fake, the only fake thing is the slate table top that the egg is balance on. I had the kitchen light on, but not the light in our dining area where the table is. The flash reflection off the egg onto the table is illuminating the table's texture. I don't think I'm good enough to fabricate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
