Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in a butterfly garden at a park in Burnsville MN.

Time

This photo was taken in the late afternoon. Around 4:00 pm.

Lighting

Natural late afternoon lighting made for a perfect photo.

Equipment

This photo was taken with a Samsung Galaxy note 9 cell phone.

Inspiration

I was driving through Burnsville Minnesota when I saw a flower Garden and told my husband it would be a great place to take photos. When we pulled up we realized that the garden was full of Monarch butterflies. It was a fantastic shoot. I left with over a hundred photos of these beautiful creatures.

Editing

I used Lightroom to enhance the vibrancy of this shot and bring out the colors.

In my camera bag

I take a lot of my shots with a simple cell phone camera. I have a 25x clip on macro lense that I bring everywhere with me.

Feedback

Where there are flowers there are bound to be butterflies. When they are drinking nectar from a flower they hold nice and still for up close shots.
