My hands after digging post holes for a fencing project

Behind The Lens

Location

I saw a hummingbird around the flowers in my front yard so I grabbed my camera, by the time I returned he was gone but the butterfly stopped by. Quick adjustment on the camera and luckily I caught a few shots.

Time

It was early evening just as I pulled into the driveway from work.

Lighting

The lighting was shaded, was hoping to catch a shot in the sunlight.

Equipment

The shot was handheld with a 105mm portrait lens.

Inspiration

Hoping to catch a closeup of a hummingbird with the portrait lens, just got lucky when the butterfly arrived.

Editing

Minimal post processing in lightroom.

In my camera bag

I use a nikon D850, normally a 600mm f4, 120-300mm f2.8, and a 105mm f1.4

Feedback

Just luck of the draw on this one!
