Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo on the banks of the Mekong River, Vietnam.

Time

I ran after her for a long time. She was the only one of those colors to be seen at the time. It was noon and it was extremely hot.

Lighting

Nothing special, I just looked for the perfect angle to show its colors and the butterfly did not go away.

Equipment

At that time my camera was a Canon PowerShot SX50 HS. In these cases there is no time to use other equipment.

Inspiration

Butterflies are my favorite to photograph. Where I see one I run after her.

Editing

The only secret is to take the raw photos, then develop them using two or three modifications such as brightness, shadows etc.

In my camera bag

Just my camera, lots of cards and batteries. And a tripod for certain shots.

Feedback

Walk a lot and have a lot of patience.
