Learning curve

I learned something very important this weekend related to photography. Gadgets can get in your way of taking the best available photos in that they make you think in a predefined path, which may not be the most appropriate, or just plainly wrong.

I have been trying different things with off camera flashes and wireless triggers for the last few months and somehow got fixed with the idea that flashes belong to the tripod (one lame excuse being that until very recently I did not have a flash I could use on my camera as they were not specific for Canon).

But I am pretty much convinced that yesterday´s shots would have come out way better just with the flash mounted on the hot shoe. Hopefully I learned the lesson.

I just recently got acquainted with the concept of negative space, but I have to admit I was not thinking about it at all when doing the shot, rather trying to please my family after they had finished this master piece. What would you write in the empty space?

This one is made out of almost 50 photos. I was thinking of redoing it so that the stitches can not be seen, but I actually like the effect plus the black border. This is how this looked like in winter

Esta foto está hecha a partir de otras 50. El efecto de los "cosidos" me gusta, así que creo que la voy a dejar tal cual. En invierno esto tenía esta pinta
