Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in my backyard garden in which grow a mass of coneflowers.

Time

I setup my camera mid-morning and the picture was taken at noon.

Lighting

The lighting was perfect although it was the butterfly who was responsible for the time of day.

Equipment

This was shot on a Nikon Coolpix P500 with a tripod. I hope to upgrade in the near future.

Inspiration

At times we have a cloud of butterflies flitting around our flowers and I thought catching one at work would make a good picture.

Editing

No post-processing. I have Jasc-Pro but am not adept at using it.

In my camera bag

At present all I have is a Nikon Coolpix P 500 and spare batteries.

Feedback

This shot took patience. I set it up beforehand and watched the flower while I worked close by. I approached the scene with great caution when it landed.
