Charity Shop reflection

I found this project a lot harder than I envisaged, perhaps because I was working on a still life with a an analogue camera and a fixed lens. No matter what I did, I still seemed to be working with a shallow depth of field , which made some of my images softer than i would like. As a result, I reshot a few, and had some slightly better results, although I found getting a decent print out of them a slightly labourious chore towards the end. 

In the end, I think my ignorance of studio photography, combined with the difficulties with close lighting and shooting a still life caused a lot of problems that only time and practice can fix. ,
