Rainy Day 'Sun-brella'

Rainy Day 'Sun'-brella

Scribblings
Splat! A raindrop splashed on Roxanna’s nose. Her warm, dry burrow was far away. Then she smiled and scurried under the bright sunflower. It was the perfect ‘sun’-brella.

The Story Behind the Shot
Sometimes, a tight budget is the best creative spark. I originally wanted a standard umbrella for this scene, but the online prices were a bit high. Instead of overspending, I improvised with an upside-down sunflower. This simple pivot gave the shot a more organic, whimsical feel. If you look closely at the golden petals, you can still see tiny droplets clinging to the surface—a small, glistening reminder of a perfectly timed improvisation. By the way, my step-daughter gifted me with a little umbrella for Christmas one year. Visit "Dancing in the Rain" to see another whimsical umbrella shot.

Everything you see is real photography. Read Frequently Asked Questions about the process to learn how I capture these unscripted moments.
