2012 - 366 Project

010/366 Twiglets and Still Lifes

So, today was camera club night and we were to do some still life studio work under lights. Daily photo in the bag I thought. Well…photos were taken  and it was an enjoyable evening, but I thought I’d spare you the mince pies, holly and Christmas crackers that we photographed.
