Location
I took this photo on the Manti Utah LDS Temple grounds.Time
This photo was seriously a lucky shot. I took it around 4:00 ish if I remember correctly and has been one of my favorite images I've ever taken.Lighting
I wanted the focus to be on the butterfly and have a sort of glow around it.Equipment
I used my Nikon D3200 with a 200 zoom lens. No other equipment was involved.Inspiration
I was looking at the beautiful flowers on the temple grounds and there were a bunch of butterfly's hanging out. I waited patiently to get this amazing shot.Editing
I always use post processing with my images. This one was super easy because it already had great color, focus, and positioning. I increased the color and contrast and a little bit of sharpness to get this outcome.In my camera bag
I always have my camera body (Nikon D3200) and at least three lenses. 50mm, 18-55 and my 55-200mm lens.Feedback
Follow your dream. Be patient and keep being creative. When we fail it's no big deal just try again!
