The parasol is one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols of Tibetan Buddhism.
An umbrella or parasol (sometimes colloquially, gamp, brolly, umbrellery, or bumbershoot) is a canopy designed to protect against precipitation or sunlight. The term parasol usually refers to an item designed to protect from the sun, and umbrella refers to a device more suited to protect from rain. Often the difference is the material; some parasols are not waterproof. Parasols are often meant to be fixed to one point and often used with patio tables or other outdoor furniture. Umbrellas are almost exclusively hand-held portable devices; however, parasols can also be hand-held. Umbrellas can be held as fashion accessories.
The word umbrella is from the Latin word umbra, which in turn derives from the Ancient Greek ómbros (όμβρος
. Its meaning is shade or shadow. Brolly is a slang word for umbrella, used often in Britain, New Zealand and Australia. Bumbershoot is a fanciful Americanism from the late 19th century.

Smoke photography tips
~tabascoterrier
reports, March 8, 2008
reports, March 8, 2008I'm often asked how I go about taking my smoke photos, so I thought perhaps a small article was in order.
* Canon EOS350D
* Sigma 18-125, with lens hood
* Cable release
* Tripod
* Sigma EF-500 DG Super hotshoe flashgun
* Vivitar 285 hotshoe flashgun
* Cardboard snoots
* Various coloured gels
* Lots of gaffer tape
I use incense sticks as a smoke source, as they're cheap, long lasting, easy to work with, and smell good.
Decent ventilation, or at least regular air breaks, are important - not only does trying to work in a room full of smoke rapidly become uncomfortable, it also robs the images of definition and contrast.
To get crisp images, a small aperture is a must. The wide depth of field helps keep the smoke in focus even when it's drifting towards and away from the camera. I tend to work at around f/11 and upwards. As for shutter speed, I shoot at my max sync speed of 1/200.
The disadvantage to using a small aperture is that I need lots of light. Buckets of the stuff. I use my two hotshoe flashes at full power, with cardboard snoots to give me a tight aim, as close in as I can get, and if I had a third I'd use that too.
It should be possible to get away with continuous lighting too, if one were to have enough of it, and didn't mind perhaps cranking up the ISO a bit.
To get different colours in the smoke, I attach different coloured gels to my flashes. No photoshopping involved
With that much light flying around, a lens hood is a very useful thing, and allows a bit more flexibility in light placement without unwanted lens flare.
The usual compositional tricks apply; get in close, fill the frame. My favorite shots have all been at the top end of my zoom range.
The trick to getting a properly black background is simply to not get any light on it. To this end I snoot my flashes using a rolled up and taped piece of black card, aim them away from my background, and try and keep the smoke source as far away from the background as I can.

 reports, 1d 4h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.56 I LOVE MY PETS! - 03`emmil
