Peacock 2 – The Arboretum

I made this capture of a peacock strutting his stuff for the peahens during the breeding season at the Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden, Arcadia, California. It was quite a display of plumage and debauchery. I was able to zoom in and nail the “I’m all that” look on the peacocks face.

Nikon N90S SLR, AF Zoom-Nikkor 80-200 mm f/2.8D ED, exposure: not recorded, Kodak E100S Professional color transparency film, program mode: Aperture Priority, handheld, Plustek OpticFilm 7600i Ai , 35 mm film scanner, LaserSoft Imaging SilverFast 8 scanner software.

  He is looking very intently at you, I wonder if he thought you were invading his territory, or if you were disrupting his concentration!

    Nature’s Child: I used an 80-200 zoom so as not to invade his space, but I would really hate to think I was disrupting his concentration. Never stand in the way of progress! 😉
