Quote:David, we are talking about shadows in a photograph, not physics. Obviously shadows do not actually converge on a disappearing point. They only appear to due to perspective. That is what we are discussing, in your altered photo. You have shown your lines as diverging. This can't happen.
I can show you numerous photos of shadow lines converging . Are they all fakes as well?
Shadows converge towards the sun if the camera is facing it, and will converge on a disappearing point with the sun behind the camera.
In a photo that depicts reality, shadows will not converge in the the direction the shadow is going, just like RR tracks will never converge even though in a photo they appear to.
The shadow of the post and the shadow of Oswald are not from the same photo or from the same source of light. Period.
That the shadow of the post and of Oswald converge so quickly behind them is even further proof of the impossibility of it.
PHOTOS are representations of real world situatiosn Ray... what they depict will depend on many factors not related to the reality or physics of the subject of the photo.
In the BYP the light source is easily defined and the ground the shadows are falling upon is relatively flat. Even where it is not flat, we should see a post shadow crossing over the object at the base of the post.
I am not refuting your interpretations of photos Ray... But claiming that a photo can show shadows converging and what we see in the BYP are two completely different subjects.
A subject that is light by the sun moves to the subject's right by 5 miles...
The shadow that falls from this new location can not fall in a line that converges with the orignal shadow.. it would in fact angle the opposite way and converge with the original back at the horizon under the sun.
The post being on the right of the origgnal subject SHOULD cast a shadow t that performs exactly the same, and NOT at an angle that enables the shadows to converge in the distance...
Just not how it all works Ray... So let's stop talking examples and eal with the BYP.
Give the shadow for Oswald and the garage to the left of him with the shadow on the fence,
where do YOU think the shadow of the post should fall so it works with the Oswald shadow?
Once in a while you get shown the light
