When photography feels like actual magic.

Backlit by golden winter sunlight against a dark backdrop of woods, the lace-like pattern of these frosty branches caught my eye. As I raised the camera to my eye to examine the scene more closely, a gentle breeze picked up, sending a flurry of hundreds of thousands of tiny ice crystals into the air all around me.

En garde!!!

(i don't often like #BlackAndWhite for #WildlifePhotography but this swordbill was strongly backlit so this is an experiment...)

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...

"if one more tourist pops off about the beakless wonder, i'm gonna peck somebody."-- andean cock of the rock

A large chunky bird with deep orange upper parts that match a semicircular fan of deep orange crown feathers sits on a perch in an area of patchy green forest to allow a shaft of sunlight through to light the birb's headdress from behind-- creating a corona of golden sunlight around the head but not the body. Birb is turned in profile so that the alert beady eye gazes at the viewer.  Yet, oddly, because of the poofed-out head and facial feathers, he seems to have no beak. This is the male Andean Cock of the Rock.  Jardin, Colombia. Nov 2025. Photo by Peachfront.

THE BACKLIT EP LAUNCH & WIZARD EYES SINGLE LAUNCH

Black Bear Lodge, Thursday, December 11 at 07:00 PM GMT+10

The official launch show for Backlit's debut EP - titled "The Backlit", released on 31/10/2025. Backlit brings their noisy, chaotic energy to their first headlining show, playing their EP and more in celebration of its release. The boys are joined by the knuckle-dragging doom metal gurus "Light Eater" and the alternative rock dynamism of "The Mess We're In". The night will be concluded by the gravitational force that is "Wizard Eyes". Wizard Eyes will also be launching their first single as a full band - Transcending Humanity. Join us for a night of doom, sludge and atmosphere - this is one to remember.
