Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at the front entrance to our home. My wife noticed it on my jeans leg but it flew away. I ran down to get my camera and see if I could find it. There it was posing for me on the glass at the front entrance!Time
It was late afternoon and we were unloading groceries. I was holding the door open for my wife when she saw the butterfly on my leg.Lighting
Sunny day. I believe the sun was behind the west side of the house and the shot was to the east. I want to say a "well lit shade".Equipment
This was shot with a Canon EOS REBEL SL1.18-55 kit lens.Inspiration
Totally unexpected!Editing
Minor tweeks of light and clarity....I think.In my camera bag
The equipment is entry level and lenses too. Canon EOS Rebel SL1 kit.Feedback
I had seen a few of this kind of butterfly during the week this one posed for me. My advice is if you see one keep your camera handy and hopefully one will pose for you too!
