Location
This was a photograph taken at the edge of a drive beside my horse riding ring that is very gravelly with some local weeds/flowers that grow sparsely there.Time
It was likely late morning after cleaning the horse paddock and doing chores.Lighting
Lighting was very ad hoc and spur of the moment. Just seeing a butterfly and hoping to capture it while it teetered on the dandelion. Lighting was just normal with no extra equipment.Equipment
This was taken with my cell phone the Samsung Note 5.Inspiration
The inspiration to take this photo was the moment and seeing such a lovely delicate being in nature and wanting to capture the beauty.Editing
No post-processing was done. It was straight out of the cell phone camera.In my camera bag
I now normally have my Canon EOS R in my bag with the EF 100mm Macro prime lens. If I don't have that with me, I do have my Huawei P20 Pro cell phone camera for any opportunity that might arise.Feedback
The only advice I have for people to capture anything small like this is to keep your eyes down and look around constantly.
