Location
This shot was taken in the amazing Royal Botanical Garden in Peradeniya, near Kandy, in Central Sri Lanka during a visit in August 2014. The garden has an incredible amount of different species of vegetation, animals, insects, etc.Time
The photo was taken around 8h am, when the garden is not packed with visitors.Lighting
Weather was a little cloudy and had a good amount of light.Equipment
No tripod, no flash, Canon EOS 450D, 55-250mm, ISO 640, 1/250, f/5.6Inspiration
Actually I was shotting differents types of exotic flowers and plants. Suddenly I saw this batterfly posing on top of this red flower, which gives a good composition and colors.Editing
Just corrected the white balance and cropped to adjust composition.In my camera bag
As an amateur I used to bring my Canon EOS 450D to all my travels with a couple of lens. Recently I added to my equipmen a Canon EOS 6D with a 24-105mm f/4L, a 50mm and a small tripod.Feedback
Actually I catched this butterfly by chance. Afterwards I waited there for some more time and didn't get another. I guess I just was lucky.
