Behind The Lens
Location
I took this picture in a tropical zoo on a small island of the Netherlands called "Texel".Time
The shot was taken around 14 o' clock.Lighting
I used the light of the butterfly breeding room in the background to create a golden atmosphere, just like the sunset.Equipment
I used a Nikon d3200 with a tamron 90 mm 2.8 macrolens with vibration control. I was lucky to have vc because of the pretty dark setting.Inspiration
I love insects. Especially such a beautiful one as the "greta oto" butterfly, it was on my bucketlist to capture on image so I'm very satisfied with the shot!Editing
I always post-process in lightroom. I enhanced the warm tones and the contrast a bit.In my camera bag
I want to specialize in macro photography. I rely on my steady hand so I mostly leave my tripod at home. In the winter I sometimes take a 55-200mm lens with me to capture some birdsFeedback
Take your time, have patience and watch the background when you take a shot from the butterfly. Don't shoot too wide open or else you will not get the eyes sharp.
