Thanks Adam. I may continue to play around with the umbrella a bit; perhaps 
more subtly. Kind of a where's Waldo thing. For awhile will shoot both with 
and without. I also have exposures without. 

Non-pros I've pointed it out to seem to get a kick out of it. Purists tend 
to not. Having both gives the most options when time permits. 

Thanks for chiming in. I have thought about using a bike, but juts too bulky 
to carry into the field. That said, I think more people can relate to a 
bike...

Thanks again,
Bob
