Behind The Lens

Location

I was working in my landlords garden, and this butterfly initially landed on my hand. I had my camera handy (Canon Rebel T3) so i followed the butterfly around the yard for a moment or two. when it landed i switched to the macro setting and snapped away. It almost seemed like the butterfly was posing for me.

Time

it was after lunch. not sure of the exact time though.

Lighting

the lighting was natural sunlight, coming from approx 45 deg from the right

Equipment

i did not use a pod. i simply lay on the ground and took the shot. the camera i use is a Canon Rebel T3, with a standard lens in macro mode.

Inspiration

i like to think of myself as an artistic photographer. i enjoy nature and all of its aspects.

Editing

i cropped the image and put a little contrast to it. re-cropped and re-contrasted. the program i use is Picasa 3

In my camera bag

i keep several filters, ND, UV, Circular Polarizer. i also keep a quality cleaning kit with me. standard lens and long zoom lens, as well as 2 different wide angle, macro lenses.

Feedback

patience, patience, patience.... and dont move too fast, or you spook em...
