Four and a Half More Days to Procrastinate

Just a reminder that the Umbrella Specular Portrait assignment is due on August 26th. There has been a lot of discussion on the Flickr thread about this one.

It's not as easy as it looks. If it helps, you'll probably have your lens scrunched right up into the edge of your umbrella when you have the angles correct.

Taking no chances is reader John M., of Paris, France, who offers this by-the-numbers effort.

(Everybody's a comedian...)
