Location
This photo was taken in my backyard while out for a walk. There's a lot of clover and the butterflies like to gather out in the patches of clover.Time
This was taken around 1030am. There's still a little dew left on the ground that hasn't dried up.Lighting
This is all natural lighting thanks to mother nature.Equipment
This photo was taken with my phone.Inspiration
I was watching the butterflies chasing each other and this little one landed to get a drink from the dew in the clover. It stayed there for a long time while I watched it get itself positioned on the flower.Editing
No I got this during the right time of day. There was plenty of light to show all the colorful features of the butterfly and the dew droplets.In my camera bag
I always have my phone, I have a Canon T6si, a flash, spare batteries, and multiple telephoto lenses.Feedback
Be patient. If you move around too much nature gets flighty. Also a good telephoto helps with nature shots so you don't have to disturb the animals or in this case insect.
