Ally Pally – Part 1 (at last) – aka I hate disposable cameras

I’ve finally had my pictures back from the disposable and I am really disappointed with them. Only a few really turned out well and I think it was probably because they were the ones the flash was used on. I really need to get a new camera soon so it’s a good thing Christmas is [...]
