Location
This photo was taken at the Butterfly zone located at the Bronx Zoo.Time
I entered the butterfly zone about mid-day maybe 1 pm. on hot summer day.Lighting
The lighting was bright but soft. The classical music in the background immediately infused a sense of calm and then the butterflies flutter around you like mini fairies.Equipment
I used my Nikon D40 on Macro setting with the 18-55 lens.Inspiration
The inspiration were the butterflies themselves.Editing
I did not do any processing on this photo, I liked the colors that came through on this shot.In my camera bag
My Nikon D40 was a gift my husband gave me to take pictures. I have since gotten 2 more Nikons and continue to be inspired to capture moments I see.Feedback
Butterflies are skittish, patience is your best friend.
