Location
This was taken in my backyard. The flowers are Mexican Bird of Paradise and the butterflies and other insects are drawn to them.Time
This was at 12:34 p.m. On October 14, 2012. The butterflies are very active in October and November.Lighting
This is natural light and the Sun was shining brightly.Equipment
I shot this with a Canon Powershot S3 IS. My settings were f5.6, 1/640, 62mm. I did not use a tripod.Inspiration
I have an affinity for butterflies and try to capture them whenever I can. I have several different butterflies that come to my backyard.Editing
This is straight out of the camera.In my camera bag
At the time that I took this picture I had very little in my bag - my camera, batteries, cleaning cloth. Now I have my Powershot, a Canon 60D, a Tamron 24-70 Lens, Canon 70-200 Lens, 2X Extender, Macro, extra batteries for both cameras, shutter release and manuals for both cameras.Feedback
Butterflies move very fast. I set my shutter speed high to stop movement and my f stop higher for a crisper picture. I adjust my ISO to compensate.
