So, after viewing some REALLY nice pix in the rig pictures area, I'm curious about the use of umbrellas. For damp weather, it's obvious, but I notice people using them in sun light.
I see the sense in using an umbrella when at a festival, ALL day, in extraordinarily hot conditions, but when is it a true NECESSITY (again, other than damp conditions)? Is there a reason why more people don't use them in the sun?
In all my years of taping, I've NOT done much in the line of festivals, but will be hitting a few this summer.
