Location
This photos was taken in my backyard. I was having coffee on the deck and saw this butterfly in the lilac tree so I grabbed by camera. I’m a self-taught photographer so any opportunity to capture something is one that helps me learn more about this craft.Time
It was morning. Everything smelled of spring and the sun was shining.Lighting
The natural light was able to highlight the beautiful colors of the butterfly against the flower petal backdrop.Equipment
This was shot with my Canon Rebel xti with a 75-300 lens. No other equipment was used!Inspiration
I am always gaining experience in capturing small, moving things. This butterfly was perfect practice for that!Editing
I cropped this photo after taking it to center and frame the image to highlight the butterfly.In my camera bag
I always pack my Canon 75-300. It is my go-to lens. Also, an extra charged battery.Feedback
Be still and patient. They will stop moving at some point, just have your camera ready to click!
