I was looking through photographs
taken by serious photographers on a website a couple weeks ago and all of
sudden, it struck me that there are photographs that are “standards” that all
photographers seemed compelled to take.
Today’s photo is one of them—a male peacock with its tail spread.
When I see a photo like this one, I usually think: “same ole, same ole.” Yet, when I was presented with the
opportunity to photograph this peacock I took over 70 frames of this peacock.
Why? I have no idea.
Is my photo any better than the thousands that I have seen before. Not really. So why did I spend so much time taking and retaking photos
of the subject?
I have no idea!
Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D4, 24-70mm f/2.8, ISO 200, f/8 at 1/500th
of a seconds.
Post Processing:
Lightroom 4—applied Landscape preset
during import, set white and black points and added clarity and vibrance.
It may be a photo that many people have taken but I still look at it.
