Sorry, my friend, this is not a color monochrome art. It will work better in Identified Floating Objects IFO category. Please place it there, thanks. Sorry for the trouble. :-) Woof!

Butterflies are my favorite creatures. I have almost everything I own trimmed or painted with them. That is one catch of a picture. Btw, moths have feather like antennas and butterflies the thin with the little bulb.

Location
This photo was taken 30 meters from the house where I lived at that time. In the meadow, near the forest.Time
It was evening, before sunset. About 30 minutes before sunset. The time on the clock was circa 9.20 PMLighting
It was the natural light of sunset, it turned out to be filling due to the low angle of incidence of light from the sun and re-reflection from the grass.Equipment
I used a Nikon D90 camera and a Nikon 55-200mm 4-5.6/ lens without a flash, without a tripod. The shooting was done from hands.Inspiration
I was going to pick up my wife, pick her up from work and I had only 20 minutes. I went out on the field, I didn't know what exactly to photograph, when suddenly I saw a small butterfly flying from blade of grass to blade of grass. The light was beautiful and I decided to follow this butterfly. I took only 15 or 20 frames and was sure that I got the best picture.Editing
Yes, the photo was slightly adjusted for contrast and I had to remove the glare from the blade of grass in the foreground, which interfered with the holistic perception of the frame. But otherwise everything is natural.In my camera bag
Now I use a camera Nikon D750 and lenses Nikon 35 1.4G Nikon 50 1.4D Nikon 24-70 2.8G Nikon 80-200 2.8D Nikon 105 2.8DFeedback
Follow your intuition in search of the object of photography, study various shooting techniques that can allow you to get a similar picture and find those that are most comfortable for you. Have fun with the process. I wish you great pictures!
