The daily galleries are such a gift because they give us so many opportunities to shoot. It is a bit of a paradox because the schedule confines to a daily time frame, but it also gives us the freedom to experiment. But the tendency is to stay in the comfort zone, stick with what you know. Trying new things carries a risk but offers potential reward. Today I decided to shoot in the woods at Moss Rock Preserve again. My intention was to shoot more wildflowers. There have been various articles on using flash outdoors in certain situations. Today turned into an opportunity to try it. There was plenty of light, it was a sunny afternoon. But the woods are filled with shadows in the afternoon so I thought it was a chance to try the flash outdoors.
