Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the courtyard of the house where I lived at that time. If I'm not mistaken, I just bought a macro lens and thus tested its capabilities.

Time

The time for shooting was not the most suitable, about noon, but the butterfly was not in the bright sun and in the shade of leaves.

Lighting

The shooting was done in natural light without the use of flashlights.

Equipment

Nikon D700, Nikon 105 mm 2.8D

Inspiration

Moment, butterfly, lens.

Editing

Yes, I always shoot in RAW and process images in Lightroom

In my camera bag

Now my everyday equipment includes Nikon D750 Nikon 24-70 2.8G Nikon 80-200 2.8D

Feedback

Be attentive to the details, do not rush, disappear into space and the image will come.
