Location
This photo was taken at mudhumalai tiger preserve India.Time
The photo was taken on an early morning safari around 7am. The peafowl stood majestically for few minutes where I was able to capture this shot handled.Lighting
It was a monsoon season in India and dark clouds everywhere, but that early morning light was a definitive plus for the shot.Equipment
This photo was shot using a Nikon D7000 and a Nikon 200-500mm @ 500mm and f/5.6Inspiration
I have seen a lot of peafowl during my trip to India, usually I see them walking or standing on the ground . This was a perfect pose on a dead tree just high enough above the ground to present the complete beauty of the peafowl.Editing
I like to use Lightroom for post processing. I remember this picture required very little post processing since it came out really nice as shot.In my camera bag
Usually I carry a DX body and 200-500mm for wildlife. 24-120mm with a FX body for closer subjects and landscape.Feedback
Wildlife photography requires a lot of patience, sometimes you have to make multiple trip to get a perfect shot that you have imagined. One has to wait for that perfect moment to capture a beautiful picture.
