Almost done cooking - candling pictures?

Hello everyone! I've hit the 48th day of incubation (at 82ºF) and I just candled my eggs to see how they're doing. It looks like one of the eggs is pretty full since there's a large black portion inside of the egg blocking out about 80% of the light. The other larger egg seems to be on its way to getting full, but it's not quite there yet. Both eggs have a little activity inside as well.

Does anyone have pictures of candling near full-term eggs? I'm really curious to see what an egg that's about to hatch looks like when candled since there aren't very many "progression" photos on the internet (at least from what I could find :) ). Will the entire egg be black inside? Or will you still be able to see some light pass through?

Here's a candling pic of one of the large egg on day 43. I apologize for the quality since I took it using my cell phone, but you can see the head in this particular picture. :)
