Daily Practice

1.  For the first day, I sketched just to get my brain going.  Then I started building still lifes using random items strewn together, and experimented with studio lighting.
2.  Mainly I practiced shooting in manual mode, but also I focused on lighting my still life so it would look like it was floating.
3.  I would like to do more still lifes, and experiment with such set ups with natural lighting.
4.  It took a while to get the creative juices flowing, but overall I used my time fairly well.
