i normally avoid photographing birds from behind but with the Shining Sunbeam (the actual English common name of this hummingbird), the iridescent rainbow of color on the back is a field mark #BirdsOfMastodon #Biodiversity #Bird #Birding #Hummingbird #Shiny #Wildlife #Photograph #BirdPhotography

I am taking suggestions on how to improve backlit photos since I have little experience with backlit photography... with birds & birding, you often have little choice of the lighting, you get the bird where and at what time the bird chooses to be... #Bird #Birds #BirdPhotography #Birding #Hummingbird #Photography #Backlighting #Backlit #Backlight #Flying #BIrdInFlight #BirdInFlightPhotography
