[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I've been posting on TrekEarth and TrekNature for a couple of weeks now. These sites are absolutely fantastic for sharing photography. In addition to nature and travel photography, I also enjoy creating still life and abstract images from time to time, and it seems that TrekLens supports this type of photography.

This is my first post on this site. I shot this photo in my house. My friend owned a stun gun, and I figured it would be fun to incorporate it into some still life shots. I took a bunch of photos of the stun gun itself, which looked pretty cool, but then I decided to try zapping things with the stun gun to see how it looked. Zapping the flower was very cool!! The current seemed to flow around the pedals. While shooting this particular image I broke my friend's stun gun. Apparently stun guns weren't meant to be used in this way. Who knew? Oh well, all was well in the end. I got what I consider to be an interesting image, and I bought my friend a new stun gun. Haha!
