Take & Make ~ Episode 5
Somehow I managed to bypass this video to the blog which wouldn’t have been right as this one was really fun to do.
Living in the UK we have a reputation for wet weather and although in reality it doesn’t really rain all that often, the weather is always a great topic of conversation for us Brits. So in this video I aimed to become the master of the weather and make it rain on command.
The rain itself came courtesy of a hose pipe and the umbrella is an old shoot through translucent brolly from my studio. Now, studio umbrellas may or may not be water proof but I wasn’t taking any risks so I covered my flash with a clear plastic bag.
My camera was well away from the hose but again I opted for the better safe then sorry approach, so my camera was protected by a Op-Tech rain sleeve… or the long plastic bag with a drawstring at one end, as I call it.

Love your videos. You take great shots and produce wonderful pictures. Do you always shot in RAW? Could this same umbrella picture have been produced with JPG? Best of luck to you.
Just discovered your website. Love it! It give me inspiration and lots of ideas watching your videos. Very easy to learn from. Thank you!
