| Lyrebird, Mexico City Lens: Panasonic 35-100mm f/2.8 Lumix G Vario Zoom Lens Camera: Panasonic GH4 Photo Location: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/240880/P1120985-1.jpg ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: 1/1500s Aperture: F2.8
Was lucky enough to get up close to one of these on a recent trip to Mexico City. I was pretty happy with the shot I managed to get, but would love a bit of constructive criticism. (Note this has been processed slightly, if memory serves me I fiddled with the vibrance and contrast a little, and added a slight vignette)  Cheers! EDIT: Embedded lower res version of the image. EDIT: SORRY! It's a Peacock, not a Lyrebird. Thanks to /u/rawr and /u/pete-tarmigan for pointing out my error. Last edited by watchingskyfallatm; 03-19-2015 at 10:25 PM. | |

| Originally posted by rawr I'm pretty sure that's just a peacock, not a lyrebird. Lyrebird's are sometimes seen near where I live. They don't look like the bird in your image at all. ---------- Post added 03-20-15 at 04:24 PM ---------- Originally posted by pete-tarmigan Definitely a blue/Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus), male (peacock). The lyrebirds (Menura novaehollandiae and M. alberti) don't have iridescent blue and, in the wild, are endemic to Australia. Peafowl (native to India) have been domesticated and are kept widely across the world as alarm systems (much louder than any dog) and as ornamental pets. I don't think either of the lyrebird species have been domesticated and exported for bird fanciers. | |
