Following on from my 'Still Life' entry with the egg, I have opted for the theme 'Breakfast'. This can be anything from where your breakfast comes from to what's on your plate. Hens, cows, supermarkets, juice, bacon sandwiches, people eating, people preparing, the sky's the limit.

great topic Chris, what a shame that the timing starts from tomorrow. I was at our local show yesterday and have some great shots of the funny looking chickens.
Thinking cap on...
I'd like to try the egg on fork shot, but Abers might growl at me!Modify message
Risky. I'd have gone for something totally different, in the hope the last competition would be quickly forgotten.
Plenty of breakfast examples in the 'fork and egg' link in the other thread; best to make sure, to avoid those.

Grrrrrrrrrrr! ;)
plate with nothing on it for me then as I don't do breakfast.
You dont do breakfast? Thats terrible. You need to fuel your body jeff
just had my breakfast reading this, and it wasn't so photogenic at all!
Yes breakfast is important, almost as important as sleep and coffee.

Better take those sunglasses of!
I 'egg'spect some nice entries, so lets all 'crack' on and 'whisk' up some good images and I promise not to 'poach' anyone else's shot. My head's a bit 'scrambled' this morning, but I have my thinking cap on.
I'm hoping to see eggless entries. There's been too much focus on eggs lately.
I know a lovely, sweet looking cow, but sadly I can not go out at the moment.
A nice porker might also do the trick, as the cornfileds are not at their best at this time of year.
You need to get all your puns in quickly, before jinky wakes up. He's a cereal punster, and if you don't do it right now you'll be toast.
Jinky manages to 'do' photographical puns, which is even more remarkable than wordplay.

After all that you could end up with egg on your face and the yoke could be on you. :P

Ouch!
Glad theres some humour here *smiles*
really struggling for ideas here. I don't do food photos well so looking for something 'different'.
Can't I do dinner, seeing as I am eating dinner when you are all having breakfast!!!
Have an idea, but will it work??. :idea:
I've got a plan too. Not a cunning plan, just a plan.
It seems I'm first in again. Don't expect to have time the rest of the week - something much worse than babysitting, teenagersitting!

It doesn't have to be prepared food!
If I knew where to find one, and had the time and inclination, to take my camera there, I'd go for a combine harvester. Or something similar like a milking machine, a huge Waitrose/Sainsbury's/Asda lorry. Definitely something impressive and huge that is, in some way, part of the 'food chain.'

You don't have to do your own smiling here Chris; it's not Twitter!
This is a luxury site, with all mod cons. :)
I don't do twitter and I like the old fashioned way. I rarely use those little pictures.
This could well be my entry, unless I get the chance to improve it.

looks delicious, but i'd prefer wholemeal bread please.
Nice pic Jediboy, also like the DOF, and the detail in the front.
I finally have an idea for this theme, am home alone with camera, cereal, new ringflash (not yet out of box) and a few hours to play --- heaven.
and here it is, it's not an original idea, (sorry Abers), but I had a lot of fun doing it and eating the left overs.
The Art of Breakfast

Mine's wholemeal bread......
My entry is 'Simply Toast'
(http://cameracraniums.com/gallery/albums/userpics/11291/normal_Toast.jpg) (http://cameracraniums.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=14649&fullsize=1)
that's a lovely reflection Chris, is it taken on a mirror or just a shiny bench top.
Nice to see it's wholemeal bread too ;)
I have a £5 Ikea table that is shiny black. The backdrop is the top of another of these tables with the legs removed. Perfect for this kind of shot.
Wholemeal toast is like eating cardboard however, it does keep you 'regular'!!!!! haha
Dont normally do breakfast but today i had eggs and :idea: as i was not going to bother this week. So in with the aftermath of brekfast.

Thought it was time to get the black tiles out again but DD beat me to the black shiny background, couldn't think of another idea so went ahead anyway, here is my deconstructed breakfast.
