Equipment

Canon power shot sx530 hs

Inspiration

I saw the butterfly on the leaf, but I didn't have my camera. I ran into the house, all the while hoping it wouldn't fly a way. It didn't. That's why it's my lucky shot!

Editing

N/A

In my camera bag

I have my power shot sx530hs canon. My little power shot sd1200is canon. 2 extra batteries, my 50 inch tripod, mini tripod and chargers

Feedback

It takes a lot of patience and creativity. I have been known to sit for hours waiting for something that I can catch.
