Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my front yard. I had come home and noticed this Monarch Butterfly. I ran into the house to get my camera. I hoped it wouldn't move. I was able to get a lucky shot!

Time

This was in the middle of the afternoon.

Lighting

Full sun in the afternoon.

Equipment

The camera used was a Panasonic Lumix FZ47, no flash, no tripod. Just a great camera with great zoom.

Inspiration

A have a love for Monarch Butterflies. They are so pretty and so delicate.

Editing

No, I never retouch any of my photos. I will stand for hours until I get the shot I'm looking for.

In my camera bag

Just two cameras they are both Panasonic Lumixes, one is the FZ47 with a 24X optical zoom. The other one is the DMC FZ70 with a 60X optical zoom. Plus extra batteries. That's all I need.

Feedback

Just have patients, the right moment will come along. Like I mentioned before, I have stood for hours waiting for the right moment. Sometimes it's just a lucky shot!
