This photo was taken in my home premises itself. I was walking downstairs when i saw this beautiful butterfly and decided to catch it, photograph it and then release it.

Time

Lighting

i tried to use the white tiles wall as a good reflection on the butterfly for indirect lighting too

Equipment

Camera - Canon -550d, Lens- Canon -EF-50mm 1.8 aperture

Inspiration

The orange colour of the butterfly

not much , a slight color tuning to little vivid colour

In my camera bag

extra battery, memory card, foldable tripod, charging cable

Feedback

be slow and gentle with butterfly as they can break wings easily
