Behind The Lens

Location

This photograph was taken at a botanical garden during butterfly day. My wife and I went to the show and there were 1000's of butterfly. This particular butterfly stood out due to the contrast in colors.

Time

This shot was taken in early afternoon.

Lighting

The butterfly show was housed in a glass building so natural light filtered in. I do believe it was a cloudy day.

Equipment

I used a Nikon D3200 camera with a 50-300mm zoom lens. I was about 5 feet away from the butterfly.

Inspiration

Hey, 1000's of butterflies, what other inspiration do you need.

Editing

Nothing special was done in post processing.

In my camera bag

I usually carry only a small camera bag that will hang on my shoulder. I have one camera body (Nikon D3200) and two lens (15-55MM) and (55-300mm). I have a polarized filter for each lens and a neutral density filter small the smaller lens. I have several macro attachments lens for the (15-55mm) lens in case I wish to do macro photography. I also have a remote shutter release fob, several charged batteries and an extra flash card.

Feedback

If you know there will be photography opportunities, like a butterfly show, go and enjoy. You will get some rememberable shots.
