Delightful photos. The one with the four people in sunlight struck me as especially well done. As always, great photography.

Just this morning I was hunting for a new hat. Second-hand. A cap, actually.

Shooting people in the face - photographically speaking - is something I can hardly do. I hate trespassing on people's public privacy.

I do see your point of view, but for me the face is the main attraction - that said I do try to be as respectful as possible

I'm sure you do. Also, my comment was not meant to be a criticism. On the contrary, I envy those photographers who have the "guts" to take such pictures.

Enjoyed this so much. I have many hats. Much better sun protection than a cap. Enjoyed the photographs.

Lovely series and a reminder that I should buy a hat because I am bald and the Sun is getting stronger:)

Thank you, Davor - we've had some lovely weather recently and I'm starting to need some protection too!

Hats galore! Love these! Do you find the use of hats is more frequent in warmer climates?

Richard Partridge's avatar

Thank you! I think the type of hat changes significantly depending upon the climate but hot or cold I think it's about equal ...

Excellent topic and nice photographs. I like to think hats are coming back.... they can make such a statement. Thank you for a great post.

Thank you Søren - I'd like to think so too although I find it very difficult to find one that suits me - much to my disappointment ...
