Peacock Portrait
-
Whites are blown on the face, next time take it in portrait to get more of the neck and fill the frame better but be sure to focus on the eye.
Thanks John.
I have to make myself think to shoot in portrait mode…I just tend to shoot landscape automatically.

Hey!! That’s not such a bad idea Noely… :wink:
I can then mix my hobby AND my favourite pastime in one fell swoop :P
Robbie, the blown out whites that John referred to will be sorted when you master the spot metering that we talked about when we were at the Giraffes. In this case, you’d probably meter off of the beak and then you’d retain all that detail.
As for landscape/portrait … look for the dominant lines in the shot. In this case, it’s the neck so it should be portrait. If an animal is facing me then I go portrait. Same with a side on of the face.
I’m going to spend some time this week messing around with that spot metering on the camera Aiden…then that Peacock is mine next time …. :wink:
Just hope the zoo are okay with me laying on my side across the footpath…. :lol:
