http://web.me.com/lubap/Annual_Collections/2004.html The following are some of the first pysanka photos I ever took with my digital camera. I hadn’t quite figured out the camera yet–the white balance was off, they were underexposed–nor had I figured out yet how to stand eggs up to photograph them So I’ve re-edited the photos, adjusting colors and exposure, but I can’t make the out-of-focus ones in focus. I re-photographed all these eggs the following year, and they can be seen below as well (all of the standing eggs). Here you can view my pysanky and commentary (symbol meanings are in parentheses) http://web.me.com/lubap/Annual_Collections/2004.html#0 645b265d-3d41-4285-8dfa-914e51d9597d http://web.me.com/lubap/Annual_Collections/2004_files/Media/Image-4CFC7E2B8BD211D8.jpg?derivative=thumb http://web.me.com/lubap/Annual_Collections/2004_files/Media/Image-4CFC7E2B8BD211D8.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px;
