Location
At the Tennessee Aquarium's butterfly garden, downtown ChattanoogaTime
9:00 amLighting
The butterfly garden has a transparent ceiling, providing perfect ambient light. The background is the white shirt worn by the man holding the baby.Equipment
Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Because the butterfly didn't remain in the same place, I didn't use a tripod.Inspiration
This photo is what I call a "touch" piece. I imagined that the butterfly's feet might have tickled.Editing
For this photograph, II did not do any post-processing. The light exposed the butterfly's wing perfectly, throwing the rest of the image into light tones, which made the wing stand out.In my camera bag

Whether or not you're inspired, venture out anyway, and sooner or later you will find a subject. From Louis Pasteur: "In the fields of observation, chance favors the prepared mind."
