One-third of the Royals\u2019 2026 season is over and, unfortunately, there haven\u2019t been many bright spots.<\/p>\n

Shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. is going to be in the American League Most Valuable Player conversation, and starting pitcher Michael Wacha is on pace to be picked for the All-Star Game.<\/p>\n

And Jason Hanna is doing great things, too.<\/p>\n

Hanna is the Royals\u2019 team photographer, so he\u2019s not contributing on the field. But Hanna has gotten some great pictures, starting with that epic shot of closer Lucas Erceg<\/a> in April.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really pure luck,\u201d Hanna told me at the time.<\/p>\n

Hanna used the \u201cL\u201d word again as he shared quite possibly the most unique photo ever taken at Kauffman Stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe shadow of downtown KC casts on to high level clouds above the K,\u201d Hanna wrote on X. \u201cOne of the coolest pictures I think I\u2019ve gotten lucky enough to take at the K. Especially with where we will be moving to. So cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure luck was involved, but it is an incredible shot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the most amazing photos<\/a> I\u2019ve ever seen, and I\u2019ve seen a lot of photos during my lifetime!\u201d a fan wrote.<\/p>\n

Another shared this: \u201cMy god this is an amazing shot<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a stunning photo. Amazing alone,\u201d a fan wrote. \u201cUnreal with what\u2019s going on with the Royals. There was no luck involved<\/a>. A talented person was in the right place.\u201d<\/p>\n

This summed it up well: \u201cThis is one of the coolest pictures<\/a> of the K I have ever seen!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Another X user shared how that image was possible, writing: \u201cThose dark bands are likely crepuscular shadow rays<\/a> created as low angle sunset light from the west is partially blocked by the downtown KC skyline.\u201d<\/p>\n
