Location

Butterfly House in Hershey Park at Hershey Town, PA

Time

I can't remember anymore, but it must've been sometime between 2:00 and 5:00 pm

Lighting

The weather was amazing that day; clear skies, scattered clouds, light breeze, I was fortunate enough to use natural sun light.

Equipment

I'm no pro; all my pictures I take with my phone camera. I think as long as you enjoy what you're photographing, you can still produce wonderful shots even with "less-than-average" equipment. I believe I had an iPhone 5s then.

Inspiration

We were inside a Butterfly House, there was movement everywhere; and there it was, this lonely guy just sitting there, almost posing. It allowed me to get as close as I did with my phone (for the record, I didn't even use the optical zoom) and it didn't move, so I guess it was the butterfly itself that drew me into taking its photo.

Editing

The only thing I did with this particular photo was the black&white effect that I did with gimp as I was playing with it back then; you can see the original, full color, photo in my page.

In my camera bag

Just my phone and the magic of sight!

Feedback

Be patient. Let the picture capture you, you'll know when it's time to click!
