@ChaCha: Thanks chacha! How did i capture it? Well, i boiled a couple eggs and one broke while in the pot. After looking at the broken egg for a while, i thought that it wouldn't hurt to take a pic of it. I then put a light over the pot and began to take pictures. This is what resulted from the photoshoot.

What an incredibly interesting photo, Rags! I think if you use a pin or small knifepoint to make a smallhole one end, your egg won't split like that.

@Seaphine: Thanks for the tip Seaphine!

Hmm I think breaking it was what caused it to split in the first place :). Interetsing

@Catalin: I felt that the egg deserved to be shot the same way i would shoot a person.
