The Shot

What a perfect way to avoid the harsh and high-contrast shadows of midday—shoot underneath a flag, and an enormous one at that! It was the red, white, and blue glow on the asphalt that caused me to point my camera in the direction of this scene, and I am still transfixed by the striped and starred shadows that are evident. I also enjoy the “photo within a photo,” as the image of the flag on the road could, in some senses, be construed as a “photograph.” It is “drawing with light,” after all, which is what the word “photography” derives from. The wide angle of my lens captures the vast expanse of the flag, and the fast shutter speed keeps the flapping fabric crisp and sharp.

Focal length 28mm; ISO 100; aperture f/4; shutter speed 1/1250; July 12:08 p.m.
