Day 64 - Iris

During a brief break in the rain I took the dog for a walk. Everything looks fresh and different after a sprinkling, I took the old manual Nikon lens and shot this at f/2 (should have shot at f/4 to get all the flower in focus but wanted to blur the background). Manual prime 50mm, f/2, 1/2000second, ISO 200 #photoaday #Project365 #walkthedog #flower #iris
