Behind The Lens

Location

I took thid photo in my backyard the Monarch butterfly was on top of thhe Morning Glory petals

Time

this was taken in the mid morning

Lighting

I wanted to capture the natural light displaying the drops

Equipment

Nikon 5200, Nikon 40mm macro lens, hand held

Inspiration

I notice this butterfly with drops on it and got as close as one inch away to capture a macro shot...As the butterfly was on top Morning glory vine I was able to get eye to eye contact,,,

Editing

no post-processing

In my camera bag

I carry my camera around in my back yard

Feedback

patience and ever slow movement of the photographer as not to scare the butterfly away
