Drip Drip Drop

Little April showers...
Walked Monty around town today but not much was happening out on the streets. Huge queues for the car parks so I imagine that the under cover shopping areas were very busy. Despite the umbrella this family was German. They had a well organised system in which they would stop and the wife would hold up the man's umbrella so he could get a shot and keep his camera dry. The son saw me blatantly photographing them and they all had a good laugh. Maybe it was my amateurish rummaging around in my coat to find camera, grab a quick wet shot and stick it back they were laughing at - but Nigel had the dog so it was actually more professional than my usual version!
This is so fun, Judith. good laugh had by all, me included

Ha ha glad you got a great brollie shot in to make up for this grimness. Good excuse to not do much though if you ask me.

A perfect Judith shot.. a bit of fun but very cleverly constructed & I love the one bright brolly in among the rather dreary ones !!! Lovely DOF &glimpse of the rather quaint narrow street.

Aw I love the soft focus in the background of this image, and despite the darkness that I imagine was present in the original setting you've done a fantastic job of keeping the image light and upbeat for rainy day photograph

@north_ender You'll know if it's him - he'll be barking and being a nuisance!
