Pictures from fried eggs or week of an egg diet.

Hello, my dear!

When our Yulya announced a theme of new Fotofleshmoba, many became nervous, and I including. It seemed that Yulya laid out all possible options of giving of fried eggs. And many so do not love this dish as food at all, or specifically do not eat a yolk. And how, tell, to take the picture for a competition if you feel sick just seeing this breakfast, once very popular in the USSR?

Fortunately, does not feel sick me, the husband loves fried eggs too, I did not cook it long ago, and I would be not I if I was not motivated by such difficult task - to make something absolutely new from well all of the acquaintance.

As always in impasses I applied system approach. Or even nadsistemny. Analysed how I can serve fried eggs in the photo as something art. Also systematized possible ways.

Way No. 1. Just beautiful photo of usual fried eggs

The way is simple, but demands professionalism in photography therefore did not shine me to make a masterpiece in such a way.

What is necessary for idea realization this way:

Good camera
Competent composition
Correct lighting
The principle of golden ratio in placement of objects on a photo

I found in a tyrneta a beautiful photo for inspiration. Here such:


But I did not manage to make even something it is approximate qualitative and beautiful. Because I could not even begin. Also did not begin to transfer eggs to unsuccessful attempts.

Way No. 2. Essentially new dish which part are fried eggs

This way means creation of really original masterpiece, but there is no guarantee that the photo of such dish will be at the same time interesting and advantageous.

What is necessary for idea realization this way:

Original recipe
That fried eggs remained fried eggs
Quality of the photo


Two months ago I mastered the new recipe of cutlets with fried eggs, found these photos, analysed them, but they did not light me.

Very tasty, but is it photogenic? Big question.


Approximately from the same series the photo of fried eggs in subfrying from onions and paprika. Too it is very tasty, but the photo looks is rather banal.

Way No. 3. Decoration of fried eggs

This way is suitable for creative people who are capable to take simple usual as a basis, there can be even a dish boring by sight and issue, decorate also its tax in a new, unrecognizable image.

What is necessary for idea realization this way:

Idea of original design
Vegetables and other products for ornament
Creation of design, including fried eggs

This way for me was very easy and the most pragmatic. Because dishes turned out not only original or beautiful, but also quite tasty.

My first experiment performed in such a way caused my hysterical laughter. Because quite so I look in the mornings.


I decided to send the photo of the chumachechy blonde to a photoflashmob (but as you already understood - did not send). After the short photoshoot this pucheglazitsa I had to turn into two here such a Cyclops, we had dinner with the husband together.


Next day I made a new beautiful dish with fried eggs which I photographed in different variations, and was sure that one of these photos will adequately present me on a photoflashmob (and too as a result did not begin to send to a flashmob)


I admit honestly - I could not choose the best from photos. With small peas or without small peas? With one piece of bread or with two? I could not find in myself answers to these questions. Photos to me seemed banal again. Well food and food. We with the husband ate this beauty fried eggs, and I already thought of what I will prepare for lunch next day.

And here in a tyrneta this picture with the parody to Trump accidentally caught sight to me.

And it was the break! Puzzles developed. I realized that the solution of a difficult task lies in a new, fourth way - the most difficult and the most creative.

Way No. 4. Fried eggs as work of art

What is necessary for idea realization this way:

Idea of a picture
Picture manufacturing techniques
Existence of recognizable elements of fried eggs - edible and egg white and yolk

And this already was the real creative process. Judging by the photo of Fried eggs Trump, fried eggs were fried in the beginning, and then contours of a recognizable image were cut out from it. For the third day the picture "Lodge in the Village at Winter Night" was born.

The technology of preparation was such:

1) I separated a yolk from protein, keeping a yolk complete

2) Beat egg white

3) On a frying pan roasted protein in the form of pancake and accurately transferred it to a plate

4) Cut out a sharp thin knife on a plate contours of the main composition, in this case contours of snowdrifts, fir-trees, the lodge and a tree

5) On a frying pan accurately roasted on the one hand a yolk so that it could be moved, without having destroyed a circle form

6) Accurately transferred from a plate to a frying pan composition from protein (it is the most difficult part of technology)

7) Gave compositions the finished look, having placed a yolk "in the sky" in the form of the bright Moon

8) Decided to decorate a tree with "apples" (pea), and to make windows in a lodge of bright yellow corn kernels

9) Removed "apples" from a tree on the earth near a snowdrift

10) Chose the correct lighting and photographed pictures


"The lodge in the village" was taken a picture, peppered, salted, and successfully went to destination - to a stomach. And the head right there began to think out a plot of a new picture.

For the fourth day I decided to complicate to myself a task and to represent Charlie Chaplin. With this picture it was necessary to suffer because there were many fine details because of what I came to grief. Moustaches turned out too big, and for a cane I did not have patience any more. Therefore here such modified version of the comedian with a ball on a finger instead of a cane. Especially as Charlie Chaplin without the boots too it seems as not Chaplin. Let it will be just Charlie with a ball.


For the fifth day I resolutely threatened on Trump. For it I needed two eggs. One for a head of hear, the second for the sun. I wanted to make a positive image of this unusual bright President. I did everything on the technology described above, poured out only one yolk for a head of hear on a hot frying pan and tried to give the necessary form at once. It's a go. However, and the second yolk began to flow a little. Therefore it was necessary to decorate the sun. I do not know for certain what color of an eye at the American president, but I had green peas and the issue was resolved automatically. And for pupils I used black peppercorns from a pepperbox. And the crown branded red tie of Donald - from paprika in this case became cherry on cake.


Having already made the compositions I found in the Internet of work of the Mexican artist Michel Baldini. It had many beautiful works, and I am very glad that any of my works did not copy and did not repeat its plots.



On it I wanted to stop. At me many photos already turned out, and I even amused children and grandsons, having asked them to choose works most interesting in their opinion in our chat family online. They voted for a lodge, Charlie, Trump, and hesitated between the chumachechy blonde and "flowers in bread". Fried eggs we with the husband gorged on for the year ahead. So it was possible to calm down.

But the sixth day, came Sunday, the husband left from early morning to late evening on affairs, and I was visited again by inspiration. To be exact, the idea a little to change technology of creation of a picture from protein, directly on a frying pan came. In the head there was an image of the air slender ballerina who holds an orange ball in hand, and around it the butterfly flits.

Here what I made in a different way:

I also divided egg white and yolk, beat egg white and is very accurate, on the frying pan heated and oiled vegetable began to draw a thin tea spoon with protein, to draw as a brush, a body and contours of the ballerina. Began with the head, hair, then drew a thin neck and moved down to legs. Protein very quickly grabbed, got thick and grew white. Against the background of a dark frying pan it looked as magic. I lowered fire because the layer of protein was very thin and risked to burn slightly. The girl's figure turned out at once such what I initially drew it in the head. Only hands and legs spread and became thick. Well you understand, on self-isolation even ballerinas risk to grow fat.

Then filigree work (I felt as the plastic surgeon) began - directly on a frying pan the thinnest knife to cut off surplus of protein from hands and legs, without having damaged at the same time a teflon covering and also to cut out a face contour. For the person I had a separate drop of the hardened protein which I transferred to a plate and cut out a face contour. Then put this contour to the head of the ballerina and the image of the girl turned out complete. Very successfully it turned out with hands and a yolk. All initially laid down to the right place and it was almost without correction.

So, having finished liposuction and face lifting, I with satisfaction provided to the ballerina to be engaged in the extensions, and itself was accepted to a butterfly who turned out at me almost spontaneously from proteinaceous splashes. The butterfly initially sat somewhere below and at the left, and I decided to leave her there. She too obviously recovered on self-isolation and to fly it in such body was rather heavy.


For the seventh day I received the message from Yulya with a reminder that the term of reception of photos will end soon. On new fried eggs I had no appetite any more. And best is oftentimes the enemy of the good. I consulted to children. What of all my photos of fried eggs it is the best of all to present on a competition. Now and all of you see them. Children chose the Lodge in the village, Charlie with a ball and the Ballerina. The ballerina, by the way, for me is associated with maycharmelka - kind, cheerful, funny which also reach for the sun, to light, and enjoy life on this fine website.

I derived improbable pleasure from process of creativity with fried eggs. The post will lie down in draft copies so far, and I will publish it in day of the announcement of results at once. And thank you, girls that you are. And that you such what you are! 08.06.20
