Well what do you know; photography has given me immense pleasure on finding real professionalism in committing towards what we want and striving to get it.
I went for a stroll on a road beside a temple in Tirunelveli looking for something natural to take a shot for frameaday. I could see the road teaming up with people and motored vehicles with frantic voices and horn honking in the air.
I took a pause to see an old man in his 50’s sitting in the corner of a road with some chits and a parrot. Yes! It was an astrologer waiting for people to come ask the parrot about their luck for their life. I watched closely how the astrologer asks his parrot to take some chit for the person asking for his astrology. The parrot is tamed and its wings are cut for it not to fly, but it was fed properly though having some apple and mango pieces lying near its nimble feet.
An idea came for me to take a shot of this parrot with the astrologer but didn’t know how to frame it. So I went to the astrologer and asked him for a shot and told him that I would take him as well.
I used a macro lens for getting the crispness of the parrot and its coloring. So I bent down and squatted nicely to take a position for a good shot, I set my camera to a macro lens mode, film speed ISO 64, focal length of 6.3mm, aperture f3.5, shutter speed of 1/105.
The shot came out really so well that the eyes of the parrot sparkled and it was actually posing for me. Take a look at the astrologer’s parrot.

YES! As you said the eyes sparkle.
The texture is so real. I reached out to feel it :-)
