Behind The Lens

Location

Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus, Ohio

Time

mid-day

Lighting

Although the lighting was bright that day, this beauty was in the right spot for this shot. This was an overhead shot at the ceiling in the atrium.

Equipment

Sony @100 with a 75-300 telephoto lens, handheld

Inspiration

I love nature, especially butterflies.

Editing

The only thing changed in the photo was some cropping.

In my camera bag

extra lens, flash bar, batteries,extra card, pen and a notebook.

Feedback

Shoot what you like and what is appealing to you. Take several shots of the same pose as well as from different angles.
