Light carries so much emotion---and anything backlit holds me captive. I love hearing you talk about lighting as I soak up the magic of your beautiful images here...
Certain words just delight me . Like moonlit and meadow. Two in the same sentence, well four if you count the Lady’s Slipper, then I am absolutely thrilled to read on .I too have had a deep fascination with Lady’s Slipper for many years now. I spend most of the spring, summer and fall months in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont very close to the Canadian border. I have been a careful steward of a Cypripedium Candidum/White Lady’s Slipper. I noticed it a few years ago, tucked away in a protected corner on our property, it sprouts just three leaves and two small stems , one large white orchid per stem. Simply amazing. Though I have been known to swoon over other specimens, such as painted Trillium with its bright pink outlined throat, Jack in the Pulpit, and the Pitcher plant. To name a few. Thank you David, for a few new ideas on how to capture these beauties. I know my iPhone will not rise to the occasion, but I am anxious to give it a try.
Bill taught me to pay attention to the light source before shooting. I’ve been going through his photos and he didn’t backlight subjects very often. I will start doing as you suggest and review both front and back lighting before taking my photos. Thank you for the suggestion 💚
Thank you!
Thanks for the lesson and good idea🤔 I’ll try it.
I really worked hard to choose a fave backlit picture, but I liked them all. Thanks for the fun post!

Your photography is exquisite no matter how you line up your subject David.. the little sparrow singing, a spring soprano perhaps? Divine!
Bedazzled!
