Some call it an umbrella, others call it a parasol.

"Umbra" = shadow. And for some people navigating in the rain, it's a parapluie 🙂

There is no doubt that umbrellas can be superb as props and as the subjects of photos in their own right. I have not had the chance to make many but here are a few. I only wish I had the foresight to make some of those in black and white in full color:

And even better here is a page with some links to a few superb shots by someone who's photography I admire - Christophe Jacrot who often seems to specialize in photos taken in adverse weather.
