Colorful Bird In The The San Diego Zoo Aviary

I photographed this colorful bird at one of the aviaries at the San Diego Zoo.

I used camera settings that let the background go a little dark and then lit the bird with an on camera Nikon SB 700 flash to get some separation. The colorful feathers are what I was aiming to show here.

I've photographed quite a few birds over the years and you can find all of them (excluding hummingbirds) in my creatively titled Birds album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/albums/72157628206812625.

Other pictures I have taken at our world famous zoo can be seen in my creatively named San Diego Zoo album.
