Wow... when I asked the question I really thought 'no way' .... but those candling photos are great! I had been trying to imagine from hearing descriptions, but a picture really does the trick.

thanks!

I have a Surefire 6p flashlight with an LED lamp, and use a Cannon PowerShot A710IS to take pictures with.

Here's info on the light:

It is my every day carry light so I always have it on me.

Wow, awesome photo!

is the dark mass the chick?

Yep, and with the bright bright light, you can even see toes later in development. However, if it's your first time hatching, try not to candle too often and let them be, as the less you disturb the bator, the better chance you'll have a better hatch.
