Thanks for these tips Miguel. I agree, the tip 9 is the most important to become a good photographer. It's not surprising that after taking photos during 30 years, you have won the unofficial contests (and will win probably some others contests).
And thanks too for the beans tip, very useful.
Regards.
Christian.

waoh Miguel, Wonderful to share your secrets to all of us , and in English , you deserve a new award for that, I request to nominate you for the member of the month , a great thank you for all you advices.
I have also a tip :
Personally I tested a system to avoid a too big light when I take a close up with the flash system of my canon eos 400D : I take a white water cap and a small part of scotch and I put that behind my flash and it seems that the light is more diffuse I didn' t try with other colors but in the past with my argentic camera , I had an external flash system with features likes small part of plastic to fix ahead the flash window and when I made some tests with the pink rabbit of the famous batteries , the color of the subject was different depending of the plastic color used.
regards

Thanks, Christian, for your nice words!
Thanks Ray for them, too, and for your new tip! Yes, you're right! I forgot flash work and use a similar trick: the top translucent cover of ancient slides boxes from Fuji (after their development). Yes, the light is softer for close-up pics. Now I remember another one: in tricky light situations to be measured, us the "18% reflection grey card" to take the light measurement (if you forgot it, take it from your hand back, if you've caucasian skin) and them compose and take the pic. (Ray, you just can't propose anyone to member of the month, it's Joris job ;) . You can only do it for the Woophy T-shirt winner. Thanks, anyway!).
Best regards to everyone!
Miguel
