BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY || photographing birds of prey in backlight - tips and tricks

Another trip to the hide, photographing birds of prey. Last time was a miss, and I had not taken a single picture in a couple of weeks, so I was really eager to get some shots. But that is the game of bird photography. Not a hit every time you are out. But this time was a hit, with two rough legged buzzards and one goshawk with beautiful backlight.
