Summary

Penny Grubb shares a humorous anecdote about attempting to photograph her dog, the Caped Crusader, in shadow, only for the dog to sit on her shadow to avoid being upstaged.

Abstract

In a playful article titled "Please May I Capture Your Shadow?" Penny Grubb recounts her experience trying to take a sharp photo of her dog's shadow. The dog, known as the Caped Crusader, is usually cooperative, especially when treats are involved. However, when it came to capturing her shadow, the dog seemed to have a different plan. Instead of posing, the Caped Crusader sat on her shadow, presumably to prevent it from stealing the spotlight. This lighthearted story is part of the September Six Word Photo Story Challenge with the theme "Shadows," initiated by Mary Chang Story Writer. The article also provides a link to more stories from various authors for readers interested in exploring further.

Please May I Capture Your Shadow?

September Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Shadows”

Caped Crusader sits on her shadow.

The Caped Crusader is always happy to oblige (on the off-chance a biscuit might appear) but we couldn’t get on the same page when I wanted a sharp photo of a canine shadow. I suspect she didn’t want to be upstaged by her own shadow, so as I took the shot, she sat on it.
