5 Frames… Of twisty trees on Fomapan 200 Creative and a Mamiya C22 (Mamiya-Sekor 80mm f/2.8)

Still life in lockdown: Yashica MAT-124 and Fomapan 200 Creative
Greetings and salutations from Quentin Quarantino at Club Lockdown! I’ve always appreciated still life but never really practised it at a photography level.

5 Frames… With Fomapan 200 Creative (EI 200 / 35mm format / Olympus XA)
