Talk about being creative. Nice way to free up a hand and still have the nice bounce/fill to take with.
Yeah, sore neck from hell if it's windy.

Wow, I can see where this would do a wonderful job. But, I'm not sure I want to be seen wearing one (I am more of a follower than a leader). Sort of reminds me of a battery operated beanie with a propeller thingy on top that I had as a kid.
PS. Leroy, I can see you in one. Probably wearing just that, maybe spiked heels too and nothing else. LOL! |

| LOL! Maybe we need a Mobile, AL GTG so that everyone can use him as the model. We're all going to have to be drinking or something though. |

I was about to type "Poor Leroy", but then changed my mind.
I bet he'd love all the attention, right? :-) |

You have a lens you dont like or something? Taking a photo like of that is surely to break something!

Oh whatever!!! Like you're shy or something? You'd probably be the first DPCer to wear one! |

IMHO, I think he should get one of those and somehow do a spiked-heel, nude, cheesy self-portrait for one of two current challenges, ie. "heat" - something like "Hot LeRoy" or for "success" like "If You Never Try It, You'll Never Know if You Might be Successful," I guarantee I'll vote a 10 on either one of those if he has the guts to do it!!!
PS. - Just don't get too perverted Leroy!!!! |

How'd I get the position of posterboy for oddness here?

You're right, I can't :-)

Well, thank you. I'm actually kinda shy in person at first.

Oh man, that's hilarious -- she certainly got some funny expressions from people with that get-up!
I just spent most of the afternoon doing shots of Ben Roethlisberger (Steelers QB) with groups of teens for the organizers of an anti-drug event, and I got *plenty* of weird looks with just the regular Lightsphere! |

| I already have a hat like that for my rainy day spelunking. Never even thought of using it with my camera flash. |

They probably got this idea from Al Franken when he was on SNL. :P

If I saw someone walking around with something like that on their head I think I would either die laughing, or have them commited. Sorry - but that just looks to weird.
And forget about getting true candisds wearing that thing! Everyone would be frozen and staring straight at the photog!

That would be rather odd walking around in the park.
But, I could see where it could be very useful. |

This also seems to be helpful in getting good expressions from your subjects -- notice that most of the photo subjects seem to be laughing, or tryong to hold back a laugh. Wonder why...

Yes, it could be quite useful for some subjects. Makes the photographer appear amusing and non-threatening for people who might usually react to the "threat" of a photographer with an SLR in unpleasant ways.
Of course, if you DO have to run away, the umbrella would increase your wind resistance. :o
