Location
This photo was taken on my property in Texas. I had recently planted the Dianthus and was excited about the butterflies they were drawing in.Time
I absolutely love this photo ! I am actually not 100% sure the time it was taken as I usually wander the property multiple times a day waiting for a great shot.Lighting
This was taken outdoors in natural lighting.Equipment
This photo was captured with my Canon xti and my favorite Tamron 18-200 mm lens.Inspiration
I love taking pictures of beautiful things. Especially nature, its so pure and natural.Editing
I did very minor processing as far as using a photo editor. When taking my photos I change settings quite often on the same shot to get that specific look I am going for. More natural and untouched.In my camera bag
I always of course have my Canon xti body. The main two lenses I take everywhere are my Tamron 18-200 and my Opteka 500 mirror lens. Also in my go bag is a couple of UV filters, a few batteries and of course multiple compact cards !Feedback
Patience is key. You will almost never get the exact perfect shot you want on the first try. You have to have a passion for photography! To me its about having fun and enjoying my time doing it. That's why I love photographing nature !
