Got this pic of a very young peacock today at one of our local farmparks. Very few of the shots I took of him and the guinea fowl turned out ok though, mostly the heads were oof :/ What sort of settings work for odd shaped birds? Poor light conditions made it a bit tricky.....and I didn't think about changing the ISO till too late (ummmm I'd left and gone home when I thought of it)

/edit: BTW: thanks for posting this. Several of us were going to have a peacock display after the June Free Study, but I forgot to put mine back up.

i haven't tried peacocts but chickens, ducks and geese move their heads a LOT, making it difficult to get them in focus. Could it be a slight motion blur problem instead of a DOF problem? Also, if you use automatic focus on something as distictly patterned as a peacock tail, it will avoid the head in favor of the tail every time - perhaps manual focus is the only way to avoid the cameras preference for strong contrast in auto focus.
