The view from behind of the peacock.
These pictures are from Smith's tropical paradise garden. We went here for a luau the night before, and I found at least a dozen Peacocks on this property. By the way, it's a best luau that I have been to all the Islands.
Too bad I did not have my DSLR at the time, so therefore I found some time on the next day to return to this place.
It tooks me about 1/2 an hour to find a good bird to shoot. Once I have found one, for some reasons this bird was dancing for me for about 20 min. after I set the tripod in front of him. I guess the tripod made him defensive.
Very nice set of pictures! It looks like this fellow was showing off for you...
ReplyDeleteColorful birds when fanned out. Seems if a bunch of eyes are staring at you. Abstract lines in first pic are interesting.
ReplyDeleteI love these shots! Very nice!.
ReplyDeleteHow close were you to the bird? His spread of feathers looks huge!
Ron,
ReplyDeleteI was 5' away from the bird on 17-55mm lens, and about 20' on 105mm macro lens.
