Agree - you won't want the flash because that will reduce the effectiveness of the candler light coming through the egg. Manual focus is definitely the way to go if you can :)

The delayed picture taking (when you click) will be because it is selecting a long shutter time to compensate for the dark room. If you increase your ISO settings a bit that should help - but it is still probably going to be very slow. That is why setting the camera on a tripod or even just on...

I have a Canon Rebel too - and I was thinking of setting mine up on a tripod with a fixed candling station so that all pictures will look similar in terms of egg profile and focus. Taking pictures in the dark will be a challenge - you'll possibly need to increase your ISO setting and have a...

Nature is SO amazing you know.. to have created parts of the living chick in such a short amount of time. Never ceases to amaze and awe!! And to go from Egg to chick in a short 21 days...

LOL.. yep I've done that myself hehe. I remember my mom and dad made a candling contraption (back in the day) - essentially a wooden box that could be placed over top of a light and they cut a wee hole in the top of that box to direct the light. Around the edge of that hole they glued...

The PowerLux candler I had worked rather well for dark olive pheasant eggs. I would say any torch with very high lumens would work as long as you could fashion a way to concentrate the light only on the egg and not have any escaped light.

My preferred candler is the Power Lux hand held / torch, which I find to be brilliant! Hand held, operates either plugged into power or via a portable wee battery pack. The lumens are high = very bright light = candles dark eggs easily! https://www.mannlakeltd.com/powerlux-candler There are...

I LOVE that idea! And I'm sure someone can stitch all the pictures together to make a wee timelapse film of it :)

Depends what you are using to candle. If you are using a wee torch - take a look at my photo's on page 4 of this thread. I sit my eggs in a carton or supported on a towel - and gently apply my torch to the egg (close to the egg means less escaped light = you can see in the egg better) then...
