First – this is NOT my original idea. While reading about lighting, I stumbled across a similar shot with a lampshade by John Sumrow where he credited others who used umbrellas for his inspiration such as Paul Duncan. Ever since seeing those I just had to give it a try. (Thank you Ian “Artan” for getting me started.)

Second – thank you Home Depot for actually stocking “ball-bungies” as these will now never leave my photo bag.

Third – thank you to my posing family member as they are REALLY sick of me!

I really liked this and thought it was under rated. What's a ball bungie?

Very good. I like it. It is one of the better shots of many using an umbrella.

The items to the left of the frame, next to the bed are a distraction. Now how the heck did you come up with an idea like this one? :-P Givin' ya a bonus point for the idea alone!

I like the idea. I'd like to see it with a little different setting. The hairy legs and black bottoms of feet detracted from it, for me.
