Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my front yard. The chrysalis was attached under the faucet of my garden hose guide.

Time

I followed this beauty from caterpillar to chrysalis to monarch. Sadly, after going indoors for 2 minutes, I missed the coming out, wing drying & departure. I took pictures for 14 days around 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Lighting

The western sunlight was the best.

Equipment

Oddly enough this photo was taken with the camera on my Samsung Note 4

Inspiration

The journey of the monarch butterfly is not often captured. It was an opportunity I couldn't pass up.

Editing

I do not

In my camera bag

I have a Nikon d3100 with a Sigma DG 70-300mm lens.

Feedback

A steady hand. Multiple shots to ensure sharpness.
