Location
This Photo was taken in the front garden of my parents Home in Louisiana.Time
I think the time of day this shot was taken was about 1 or 2 in the afternoon. it's been a while and that comes to mind as the time. The sun was nice and bright on the flowers and moth. Interesting moth with those eyes on its wings resting on a flower as it collects along the way.Lighting
The lighting was quite correct supplied by mother nature and splashed its rays of light on the moth and flower.Equipment
This was shot with a pentax K 100 super D using a 18 - 55 mm lens and being hand held. No flash was used in making of this photo.Inspiration
The color was vibrant and contrast was cool. the subject was quite special with those eyes on its wings just minding its business collecting nutrients on its way.Editing
No post - processing was used in this photo.In my camera bag
My camera and 2 lenses plus an extra light source. my camera has a flash on board and my lenses are a 28 -300 mm or a 18 - 55 mm.Feedback
Do something different or shoot what makes you happy. Use this photo as a jumping off point to a better photo .we all shoot different things and try to show creativity or capture something that makes you smile. I like those eyes on its wings against the vibrant pink of the flower. It is the collector for it collects from flower to flower as it flys on its way.
