Location
The photo was taken at the Minnesota Valley National Wildflife Refuge Bloomington Education and Visitor Center. There was a beautiful garden of coneflowers with butterflies flying everywhere.Time
The picture was taken in the late morning in bright sunshine.Lighting
The bright morning light was able to really showcase the beauty of the flower petals and show the dramatic detail of the butterfly's wings.Equipment
I had broken my camera on a photo shoot, so at the time of this trip, the only camera that I had with me was a Samsung Galaxy S4 Android cell phone.Inspiration
I loved the colors of the flowers and the beauty of the butterflies. It was amazing to see so many butterflies in one location. I love this image!Editing
This is the original image with no post processing.In my camera bag
I now have a Nikon D610 DSLR in my bag.Feedback
Don't be afraid to get close to get a great shot, but never do harm to the the natural beauty of the butterflies or flowers. Turn off the sound on your device to prevent scarying the subject away.
