Preguntas Frecuentes
Why is shadow direction important?
Direction affects mood and composition. Side lighting creates drama, backlighting creates separation and rim light.
How do shadow lengths change?
Longer shadows occur when sun is lower in the sky (morning, evening, winter). Shorter shadows near midday.
Can I predict shadows accurately?
Yes, with accurate location data and time. Sun position calculations are very precise.
Do seasons affect shadows?
Significantly. Winter sun is lower, creating longer shadows. Summer sun is higher, creating shorter shadows.
How does latitude affect shadows?
Latitudes closer to equator have nearly vertical midday sun and shorter shadows. Higher latitudes have longer shadow angles.
