It's Raining

Well, it was raining this morning but we only got 3 mm rain according to our rain gauge. Not enough to sink a battleship but every little helps.

Here we have David posing beautifully for the photo.

Trying to get a man to walk normally along the beach while taking a photo isn't easy.

He said, 'I was trying to walk slowly.'

Me, 'You don't have to walk slowly just walk normally, you look as though you are mincing along' ha ha

Me 'WALK NORMALLY!'

You can't get the models these days. I suppose you get what you pay for.

I thought I would turn this into a selective colouring shot.

I am halfway through my month of rainbow photos now and I have really enjoyed this theme so far.


@kjarn Hi Kathy, this is my other rainbow umbrella, it is slightly different to the one I posted the other day.

[Rick]

Great shot and very nice selective color.

[Chris Cook]

I love the colour pop of the umbrella.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

[Dianne]

Our poor men find themselves doing all sorts of crazy things for us photographers! Tell him he’s got a great pair of legs!

[Diana]

Fabulous rainbow and SC, how lucky to find such a good model. Men will be men, Harry walks at a snail's pace.

[Kathy]

Fun selective color.

[Margaret Brown]

Love your SC!

[Pat Knowles]

Well I had to laugh at your comments! He could just have stood still perhaps…..what a good sport! Men do t like using umbrellas anyway! 🤣🤣

[Rob Z]

Great image with the colours against the B&W. David did a super job... :)

[Maggiemae]

Love your story - 'mincing' is a good word! Not one that he would be comfortable with. Super umbrella!

[Carole Sandford]

I love this great image! Your model did good! 😊

[gloria jones]

Super SC

@rickster549 @cdcook48 @koalagardens @ludwigsdiana @loweygrace @edorreandresen @illinilass @ankers70 @kjarn @jamibann @boxplayer @walksnaplove @busylady @beryl @casablanca @joansmor @billdavidson @wakelys @aq21 @marlboromaam @sunnygirl @fbailey @corinnec @pdulis @mittens @clifford @ollyfran @randystreat @craftymeg @robz @maggiemae @carole_sandford Thanks for the comments and favs on this shot. I will tell David that he did well.
He isn't cheap but very reasonable and works well under instruction. Maybe I could hire him out as a model.


@dide He has got good legs hasn't he.

@ludwigsdiana He is a very willing model. Being a photographer himself he understands.

@pusspup I bought this umbrella in our local chemist shop.

@johnfalconer I am not picking on him I just want to get the photo right. We have been married for 54 years so I think I must be doing something right. Either that or he has selective hearing now ha ha

@happypat He did well. He works well under instruction. He always takes an umbrella when it is raining too. So British.

[Islandgirl]

Love the s/c!!

[Pat Knowles]

I thought he had good legs too! 🤣👏🏻

[Kathy A]

I see this umbrella is different now, interesting that it has the double layer. The mystery is solved then, the other one is mine 🤣

[Babs]

@happypat ha ha, I will tell him.

@kjarn I don't do home deliveries so you will have to come up here to collect the umbrella.

[Kathy A]

One day....

[Shutterbug]

I think selective coloring here is perfect for this shot.

[bkb in the city]

Fun shot and story

[haskar]

Great SC and lovely story.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Well, your directions worked- it's a great selective coloring shot!

Awesome edit… love the SC.

Selective colour gone wild! Lovely photo and edit.
