Here’s the un-cropped, un-tinted, non-inverted version of the previous post. This time I flipped the image horizontally to correct the reversed letters. Yes. I use an Olympus umbrella too.

The goalkeeper is already on his knees. Stretching his long arm and tattooed wrist, he punches the ball over the crossbar. A dramatic save from the man of steel. The Liquid Man of Steel.
Like everyone else I like the sunny days but I don’t despair when it rains. Rainy days present interesting and challenging opportunities for the lens. Like struggling with an umbrella with one hand and camera with the other.
This picture is actually raindrops rolling off the edge of my umbrella as I walked in the rain. I rotated the image vertically. Turn your phone or tablet upside down to view and you will get the picture.

It took a six months wait for the sun and the Wilayah Mosque to align in a way I thought might be interesting. The resulting highlights and shadows on the archway can only happen in that one moment in time.
While the elevation and angle of the sun can be calculated in advance, the good weather and the two persons walking across were a factor of luck. This is the challenge and fun of photography.
See previous post on surveying the sun.
