I took this photo in York Maine at the Butterfly Kingdom, it was taken about 5 years ago when we went on a family vacation up to Maine, Went to the York's Wild Kingdom Zoo.Time
It was around 2 O'Clock in the afternoon, I was excited about the butterfly Kingdom because I was still learning a lot about photography and knew i would have a great opportunity to show that I could take some good shots of butterflies. I like this one the best because I actually got the face of the butterfly, before this shot I really never got a face this amazing creature.Lighting
it was a great day and with the sun shinning, I was concerned about it but once I got into the kingdom i noticed that it was a glass roof that was like a frosted glaze on them so that help filter the sun but still giving me the right amount of natural light to get this shot.Equipment
I used the Nikon D3000 with 300mm lensInspiration
I thought it was going to be a great shot and I like taking photos of anything I can especially butterflies because they are very interesting animals and they are kind of difficult to capture if you're not quiet enough to get them on film.Editing

The only thing I can say is be patience when take photos of animals of all species, and never give up trying to capture the shot that you are trying to get.
