This photograph captures a striking peacock mid-leap, perfectly frozen in motion with its vibrant feathers on display. It was taken in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India, on March 28, 2016, at 6:19 PM. While a standard shot like No 1 2 might fail to capture such fast-moving nature, this photograph succeeds through precise timing and technique.
The image was shot using a Canon EOS 600D camera paired with an EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II lens. The photographic parameters used to freeze the bird in mid-air were a 131 mm focal length, an aperture of f/5.0, an ISO speed rating of 100, and an ultrafast shutter speed of 0.00025 seconds (1/4000 of a second).
