Day 365/365.
Well, I promised I wouldn’t do a shot-of-the-day for the full year, and yet I did anyways. And so, I end the year with a lack of originality and yet another disaster story.
Why is there a picture of stacked die above? Because the picture of the cake didn’t work.
Me: “Give me a little bit to get my gear set-up and plan for proper exposure of the light. Whatever you do, just don’t light the candles yet.”
