Shoot-through umbrella

It has been raining a lot, lately. This umbrella isn't much use as a photography accessory, but it does serve to keep the rain off.

(Honestly, once I thought of the title joke this image became inevitable)

Non-photography types: You can buy (much smaller) umbrellas as flash accessories that have reflective surfaces for bouncing light off. You can also get some that allow you to shoot through them so that you can use them as diffusers / ersatz softboxes. This is a normal umbrella that I'm shooting through with a flash. I have now explained the joke. Commence laughter. Thank you.
