Behind The Lens

Location

The shot was in the aviary at Butterfly World in Florida.

Time

Mid afternoon while touring with my wife and daughter.

Lighting

The heart shape created with their face mask was my "happy accident."

Equipment

Since I was unable to use my tripod due to facility restrictions, I used my Nikon D5 and a Nikon 28-300 mm lens.

Inspiration

During the visit I took a few hundred photo's. The diversity of plants, butterflies and birds was amazing. This is more a research facility than it is a tourist destination.

Editing

Only processing was cropping and burning a few hot spots from the sun.

In my camera bag

Depends on my goals. My equipment list is pretty extensive.

Feedback

Shoot way more than one shot. I probably have 20 -25 similar shots where hot spots, shadows or slight changes in body positions did not offer as nice a result.
