Behind The Lens

Location

This picture was taken on a Mexican sun flower shrub at the front of the house.

Time

It was taken mid-afternoon.

Lighting

It was a bright, sunny day, and there was little breeze. That enabled the light to remain still, which, in turn, kept the butterfly and me still., while I took the photo.

Equipment

I was using a c I was using a Canon Micro camera, no tripod, no lens.

Inspiration

I was inspired by the stillness of the butterfly, and prayed that it would allow me to get close.It felt like I was being given a gift when it didn't fly away from me.

Editing

No

In my camera bag

2 camaras (zoom camera and micro lens)

Feedback

This was an experiment which had a successful conclusion.
