Location
This was taken at Cheekwood Botanical Park in Nashville TennesseeTime
Shooting in morning light on a partially sunny day.Lighting
Since it was partially sunny the butterfly was not in direct light and actually the light was somewhat diffused. Shot with available light.Equipment
Canon 10D, F5.6, ISO200, a 100-400 Canon ISL lens on a tripod.Inspiration
One of my favorite things to photograph are butterflies and flowers. This was a shot that I patiently waited to get.Editing
No post processingIn my camera bag
I carry all Canon Equipment. Now days I carry a 5D, 50D, 100-400 ISL,17-40 L, 50mm 1.4, 28-135 IS, 430EX and 530EX flash, cable release, circular polarizing filters, and a set of defusers. I also carry a Bogen Wilderness Tripod or a Bogen Monopod on all outings.Feedback
Lighting and Patience make all the difference. I also suggest shooting a shallow depth of field to make the subject stand out.
