Beautiful day down in Cedar Keys about 5 years ago. Wildlife on the gulf is a great place to play with your camera.

A nice place to get out of town and take a stroll through the swamp.

Location

Yes. I was in St. Marks, Florida during the time the Monarchs are migrating and also many get tagged before leaving to Mexico.

Time

It was probably later in the afternoon and a cloudy cool day.

Lighting

The lighting was even due to the cloud cover.

Equipment

I used a Canon t2i with a 70-200mm L lense. No tripod, because the butterflies moved before you could set-up.

Inspiration

We went to this location because it isn't far from where we live and an article told us the butterflies would be there for a short time.

Editing

Yes, I shot this image in a large jpeg format and used Corel Paint Shop to crop and highlight the images.

In my camera bag

Two Canon dslr cameras, a t2i and a 70D with a couple Canon L zoom lenses and normal 50mm fixed.

Feedback

I like to shoot with a manual focus, am always aware of amount of lighting to adjust aperture and ISO, be aware of what is in the background and I always have to check my focus to be sure it's sync with my eye. When shooting live subjects, I focus on the eyes.
