That peacock sure must have been enjoying his photo shoot! I read once, on photo.net that taking many, many shots is the norm when it comes to getting a great one. Can't wait to see the great one you're entering in a contest! 351 shots!? That peacock sure must have been enjoying his photo shoot!

Brig -- I have a few I've not yet shared ..... Betty -- thanks! Kelly Ann -- now I want a real camera and classes on how to use it! CrazyCath -- that's exactly what I did! I have a continuous shot feature and I put the camera on that and snapped five and six shots of each pose! David -- thank you. Even I can see the flaws in these photos, and I knew before I started that the sun was in the wrong place, but moving the sun isn't in my list of talents. Even so, I am proud of these photos because they show that I have learned a bit about composition. Maggie May -- thank you. I only wish they really were ...

He is magnificent and well done for getting those shots. 351? That's brilliant. I do the same because I have a cheap camera and I am not a great photographer. I point, shoot and hope for the best! You have captured his beauty perfectly. Well worth sliding in the mud. That is the most beautiful peacock I have ever seen! He is magnificent and well done for getting those shots. 351?

But I promise to fill up my memory card once we make it. My husband likes the last one, and although there's very little of the plumage, I have to agree that it's such a cool shot.

Stop by the blog in the next couple of days and see the surprise snow storm we had today. At least 20 different transit buses were in accidents. Oh I sent an invite for you to accept courtesy of Nea. I found you and Nea are friends on Facebook so I couldn't help ingratiate myself and invite you to be friends. Take care Quilly Wonderful pictures Quilly, thank you for posting them.

The composition is good, but the focus and the exposure are "off". I can't do anything about that because my camera makes those decisions for me -- and until recently I've always preferred it that way. I also shouldn't have taken the photos with the sun in my face, but short of climbing the fence and standing in the pool, I had no choice. OC -- ba da boom. Nessa -- OC seems to think so. Brig -- still waiting for photos of your white one. And which peacock butt would you like to see on a magnet? Dr. John -- thanks! Patty -- well, thank you! But what did you think of my photographs? :D Doug -- I am so glad the steins turned out well and you are pleased. OC really isn't much of a drinker, so don't fill him too full of beer.
