[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I wasn't doing much the other day, so I decided to whip out the ol' camera and do some practicing with it.

I saw a bunch of flowers on the kitchen counter and decided to have it as my subject.

I wanted to achieve something surreal, and yet a bit identifiable as well. So I used my macro lens, dialed in the shallowest aperture for softness, propped the flower against the window to get the light BG, and metered on the brightest part of the petal.

Cheers!
