This was probably morning as it gets too hot really quickly here in Houston during the summerLighting
I try to follow the butterflies throughout the park to see if I can get a good shot of them when they land. Once this beauty landed, I had to maneuver quickly to get this angle. This one posed for me and I was blessed to have been able to capture this moment.Equipment
I used my Canon t3i and no tripodInspiration

I have my 3 lenses, (40mm, 18-55mm, 75-300mm) and some Cokin filters. I primarily use the zoom lens to get my nature shotsFeedback
Patience! You just need patience to get the shots you want! Don't give up! Practice, practice, practice.
