20091016 - Lessons Learned

1. Umbrellas blow over very easily, in even light-ish winds.
2. A white umbrella picks up mud very easily.
3. Umbrellas have bendy bits in them that... bend.
4. Always check self for bits of countrified twigs-in-the arm when taking SP's.

5. (unconnected) - be careful when opening tins of mushy peas. Should've gone to chippy!

This looks like a promo for a new tv series, Inspector Normantons'Patch.
You are becoming the master of the sp.

despite the brolly-folly the situation has been tamed..love the man-of-the-west stance..might be worth trying a variation without the hard side-light..altogether a vigourous image...scrumptious sunset too...V

Thank you, teacher :)
Very nice and warm SP in this time of sudden winter in October.

You're looking very masterful tonight, Mr. N - you should be stood in front of a class of spotty yoofs extolling the virtues of the proper planning of a photo-shoot
