Location
RHS Wisley, Surrey, UK at their annual butterflies in the Glass House.Time
The image was taken late morning.Lighting
The photo was taken inside a giant glass house so the natural lighting depended on the light outside. I needed to bump the iso to get a hand holdable speed of 1:80 with a focal length of 238mm.Equipment
Canon 60D, Canon 430 EXII and Tamron 70-300 VC USD. I always take my Manfrotto 190 classic tripod with me but because of the position of the butterfly this photo was taken hand held with image stabilisation on and using flash. Even with stabilisation and good lighting I always try to find a way to stabilise myself whether it be sitting in the mud on the ground or leaning against something.Inspiration
I love photography, I don't get much opportunity with a job, family and busy household so this was my few hours to enjoy myself.Editing
I all honesty I am a complete novice at post processing it is canon DPP only for me so minimal.In my camera bag
Canon 60D, Tamron 17-50 VC, Tamron 60mm Macro, Canon 100mm Macro, Tamron 70-300 VC and canon 430exII.Feedback
Practise, practise, practise.
