The first 3 pictures are from point and shoot camera Fuji HS10, I was standing about 5' away when I shot these birds. The bottom one are from Nikon D2X with 17-55mm f/2.8 on the tripod.
As pretty as these birds are they also can become a nuisance. Had an uncle who brought some to his ranch in Texas. Three years later there were more peacocks than anyone needs. Smell became rank. Will say the young males or Jakes didn't taste to bad when fried like a chicken!
Without question the Peacock in the tree is my pick out of this group of photos also. All the lines in this picture work together and take the eye right to the main subject, the sign in the grass. Just kidding. LOL
Beautiful birds to take pictures of and they know it too! LOL
The bottom photo is a great shot but for some reason, I really like the second photo.
ReplyDeleteHaving the bird on the tree is different and adds more texture to the photo.
A point and shoot and no tripod? You really were on vacation! LOL
I like the guy in the tree also.
