I just realised why I have such trouble getting photographs of peacocks that don't look terrible if you don't scale them way down and hide the way their feathers look kind of terrible close up.
It's not inability to use my camera properly, and it's not that my camera secretly sucks. (I thought about it, and remembered that, no, really, my camera takes beautiful pictures.)
It's that the feathers are iridescent, and iridescent surfaces are a bitch to photograph. All is explained.
And my expensive camera does not, in fact, suck when not scaled way down - though I still do scale the images down, usually to 15%, just because a 15.1 megapixel camera takes REALLY BIG images.
