Location
Backyard among the Zinnia's we planted for our Monarch habitat.Time
Afternoon sometime when the sun is hot. Butterflies love the heat.Lighting
Just taking a chance when the butterflies are in the garden. Trying to capture them as they flutter about. It's a matter of patience and eye.Equipment
Nikon D500 lens 70-300. HandheldInspiration
My husband and I raise monarchs and started planting their favorite nectar plants. So when we release them they have a flower to nectar up on before their long flight. This happened to be on a zinnia plant.Editing
No, just cropped for framing.In my camera bag
Don't have a bag just me and the camera.Feedback
"PATIENCE" and love of what your doing.
