Description
Fading everything to black and blue
You look a lot like you
Shatter in the blink of an eye
You keep sailing right on through
-Counting Crows
-----------------------------------------------
Since the weather refuses to lighten up, I am forced to produce a sombre-toned photograph. I hate the winter, just look at that dark veil of cloud...
I know I recently did an umbrella piece, and I know umbrellas are ridiculously over-used in conceptual photography. There is a reason for that though; umbrellas are awesome. There should be a stamp in support of umbrellas... (someone make one!)
Anyway, this is my brother modeling for me once again, as I apparently have no friends.
Photoshop for levels, channel mixing, dodging/burning, noise reduction and cropping.

Ohhh.
This is really great.
I really don't know how you did. Haha, i'm pretty dumb.
But, it looks pretty awesome.
I'm sure you can find some things to do with the weather you have!
You just have to be creative and think. ^^

Brilliant photograph. The quote from Counting Crows really adds to the mood of it, too. Great work!

Its really rather good. The umbrella is perfectly straight and silhouetted and this is where the photo hangs from so to speak. I like he is looking down but we can't see his face. I like the corded tendon on his desperate hands and the lighting is just right to show up his addias!

He's holding it. It was a very small umbrella.

I think I like this shoot because it reminds me of being a Kid.
Well my childhood anyway.
I used always climb things and jump off them for that free falling feeling.
So I guess this image reminds me of those times.
Also becuase you quoted an ace song ;D

I really love this. The tones are wonderful and the slight vignetting adds more focus to the person in the centre.

i've seen a picture just like this one, same pose and everything except the model was a girl. but it's still awesome. another thing that is different is he looks like he is flying through a storm that might come, i like that .

are you telling me that you took a picture of your brother jumping in the air with that kind of sky behind him?

Yes. I darkened it though with channel mixing and levels.
You could always ask him
