365/12 - Day 27 - Although I walk the darkest path

Another dull and dreary reflection of my mood. I was clearly being far to melodramatic and "artistic". This shot however is at least ingenious.

This is a normal blue golfing umbrella with me standing under it. The light source is a remote triggered 580EX11 (with sto-fen diffuser). It is wrapped around the umbrella support arms using a Gorilla Pod. In a full size well lit version, you can see a glow of light on the grass around my feet.

I seem to remember this took about 20 shots as I had to run up the garden in the dark against the timer.
