Location
I literally just grabbed this shot on the fly as I was walking along one of the paths at the State Botanical Gardens at the University of Georgia in Athens.Time
It was sometime in the early afternoon.Lighting
Just good ol Georgia Sunshine on a cloudless day.Equipment
Coolpix L830Inspiration
There were multiple butterflies flitting around the area. I was taking shots as I saw them. This was truly a lucky shot!Editing
I sharpened the image a bit and punched up the color a tad using Pixlr but other than that, no.In my camera bag
Just my Coolpix and a mini tripod, extra batteries.Feedback
Even if it's a quick snap that you don't think will amount to much, it's worth taking.
