Strange Phenomenon - Standing Eggs

For some strange reason, you will be able to make a raw egg stands this couple of days. The official explanation is gravity is strongest this time of the year. I didn't believe it until I tried it. Give it a try and I am sure you can come up with more interesting photos.

#1. Silver Biotar 44

#2. Volna-9 50/2.8

Obviously the Volna-9's mass introduces a gravitational anomaly which tilts the eggs. Smile

I think it's all a yolk.

#3. Again with Volna-9 50/2.8.

#4. Playing with some colours. Since I only have 1 macro lens, Volna-9 again.

I like the first best, though I think the egg should be a little tiny bit larger. Maybe. The third one is nice too.

I have tried that -- but nothing !

Are you sure that you floor is not participating on that issue Smile ?

Hmm, is there any nuclear plant in your neighborhood?
It might be an explanation Very Happy

I can confirm this Very Happy. Had to try it after reading the topic, also vaguely remembered hearing from this before. There were also some curious creatures that had to investigate.

Agreed. Unfortunately, that was the minimum focusing distance for the Helios 44. Maybe I could crop a bit or use an extension tube.

It seems like it is easier to make the egg stands on a rougher surface compared to a smooth one. I try on smoother floor without success. I tried at my friend's place and could even make the egg stands on the table. I was not able to make the eggs stand on the table in my place though. It will be much easier for me to take photos if I could. Might give it another try tonight. Perhaps you want to give it another try on a rougher surface?

Ha,ha,ha. Definitely no nuclear plant nearby. Don't even have nuclear plant in my country. The nearest radio active substance nearby is my SMC Takumar 50/1.4.

Don't think so. There is no interference on my mobile phone.

The best explanation I see so far,

Great. You managed to try it.

Love your curious creatures together with the standing egg. You are definitely more creative compared to me. Let me see if I can add more interesting stuff in my next egg photo.

Didn't work for me, maybe because we don't have beessies to assist? Laughing

Great pictures though!

Knew someone had to recognize them, then again you can't go around them anymore in the Netherlands Very Happy.

The eggs are on one of the smoothest surfaces I could find in the house, being Granite from the kitchen.

Is the floor rough or smooth? I am successful on rough surface (floor) but not on smooth floor.

Yes, it does work on the carpet, but I guess it works there on any day Wink

(pictures soon, once I get this roll of BW400CN developed)

It does not work on the smooth table.

Worked on smooth surfaces for me as you can see in my photo's.

Doesn't work for me, no matter what's the surface. Surprised
