Dont want to hijack this thread but how do you guys get these pics. I tried with flash just brightens room, without flash nothing and I have a good camara

You need a good light and a good camera set on macro mode. Better would be bright light and a tripod focused just right in a dark room, but that's more stuff than I have.

I use a surefire or eagle tac to illuminate the eggs and then use macro mode on my camera to take pics. I describe my set up in this thread .

Its day 5 or maybe 6 so your right on the money Silkiechicken, impressive. And mstricer I took the pic on macro setting and my set up is just a piece of cardboard with a hole cut in it set over a normal table lamp with the egg sitting in the hole. It was pretty dark in the room because it was early and raining out, but it wasn’t pitch dark. I was too cheap and lazy to build or buy a proper egg candling station.

Hey, use what works! Anything that can focus a good light source is golden when it comes to picture taking. A camera with a good image stabilization package will also help out when trying to take dark pictures.
