Location
I took the photo in my summer garden located far away from Moscow (2 hrs trip by car in traffic jams).Time
It was a sunny June afternoon. The sun was shining, birds singing, insects flying - usual summer routine. The bush was in blossom making butterflies delirious.Lighting
Nothing special to be mentioned with respect to the photo.Equipment
I always use my mobile phone (HTC one E8) 13 mp camera, mostly - in macro mode. Its performance is rather mediocre but I get used to it. After all it is a kind of challenge.Inspiration
The butterflies were infesting the bush because of the odour. There were scores of them. It looked like a winged carnival. So I was just enjoying the performance making pictures now and then.Editing
I mostly use Snapseed mobile app to make my photos look more vivid, for size changing etc. Definitely the app can not match its PC counterparts but its mobility does serve its purpose.In my camera bag
My pocket has enough room for my mobile phone. No more equipment is needed save for good eye, good luck and patience :)Feedback
Be curious, be patient, look at your feet - there you can find many unexpected things: all kinds of insects, flowers, morning dew etc. But disregard my above piece of advice if you live on a sea shore or in other exotic place :) Anyway practice more and use your surroundings for this.
