Quadruple Play
2/07/21
This photo was taken on December 12, 2020 at 9:56 AM
The location was on Capital Hill in Washington DC
The "Take It!" came from my deciding to run my part time job at a leisurely pace on this particular Saturday. It was later in the morning than I usually pass by this location and
was taking my time looking to see what could be a subject for photographs. This was a lucky find.
The position of the sun was key in having this setting happen. To have it be a mix of the subject tree, matched up with shadows on two different surfaces - then topped off with a reflection off the windows above these surfaces - made it a "Grand Slam" of sorts.
I took four shots of the subject - and this was the one that said it best.
Some day I hope to find comparable wording for photography to match up with " Stop and smell the roses " - for often this is what happens when everything seems to fall into place.
Best wishes to everyone.

I enjoy these shadow pictures. It's not something I ever considered looking for, until you started posting them. Now I see them everywhere lol.

What you did with the title is clever.

I see some baseball references in this, but I am not too familiar with the sport. Does anyone know if a quadruple play is a real thing?

The parking meter peaking through the bottom of the photo gave me a good laugh.

I vote for "Stop and find the frame" for the photography equivalent of "stop and smell the roses".

There is a lot going on in this picture. You combined all the stuff you like capturing: trees, shadows, reflections, and buildings.

A shadow on many canvas.
