Location
I was walking around my garden wondering why I had no bugs to photograph when i spotted this beautiful specimenTime
It was taken around 8am, there was alot of dappled light everywhere but no shadows on this buttlerfly, i hoped that it would still be there when i came back from getting my camera and tripod. I was very lucky as it sat there for at least half an hour.Lighting
the lighting was perfect, it sat on a leaf and there were no shadowsEquipment
this was taken with Canon 7D, 100ml Canon Macro on a tripodInspiration
At the time I was really into macro photography and really loved taking photos of bugs, insects etc. the fact that this butterfly was happy just to sit there for so long and allowed me to take its picture from all different angles was amazing.Editing
the only post processing was cropping and adding a bit of contrast and some vibranceIn my camera bag
i normally carry my canon 5D mark III, my 24-105, 70-200 both canon and if i am doing bird photography i will take my 150-600 tamron. I also take my remote control, spare camera battery and spare CF card and of course a lens cleanerFeedback
patience, patience patience and of course a little bit of luck, learn to stand still in one spot if you're walking in the garden, park, forest. stop and listen, things will start popping up around you that you would not have seen if you just walk through.
