3 suns, 1 shadow!


Did anyone else notice this basic error in episode 2, The Ghost Monument? It really grated on me and would have been so easy to put right with a bit of CGI. Careless!

Because, as every photographer knows, you can have multiple light sources but only one visible shadow.

Guess what? I ain't following a link to something called naked scientists.

Are we talking stadium floodlights here? Or celestial bodies of different light intensity?

That's why I said multiple sources but only one VISIBLE shadow.

And that same principle applies to light sources that seem to produce only one visible shadow because the others are too faint to be seen without really, really looking for them. And particularly if you are photographing them.

Yeah, but you can't even work out when you post in a different thread continuing your inane posts from here. I wouldn't trust you to boil water, let alone your damn logic...

Three shadows?

I think you're completely wrong. Acid is nothing like a base, and just because you say it is, doesn't make it so. They have different PH levels, and stop belittling people who say they are different, you racist.
