December 2012 - Machinery - 1 of 4
This month's project was machinery - focussing on the inner workings rather than the glossy exterior. Despite thinking the project was difficult, both groups produced excellent pictures, and used their skill to create something of beauty and interest out of the technical. This page and the next has pictures from the Thursday Group. There are also two pages from the Wednesday Group.

Claudine: Orsay Clock. The view of Paris shows through the transparent clock.
We liked the way the picture filled the frame, and the colouring of the pipes.

Les: Fob watch. Taken with careful attention to lighting, so that the watch is displayed against a black background.
