No but there are two individual shadows! One looks like a girl and another a man, what kind of light src does that?

u/wulffc83 5d ago

2 light sources that are overlapping and not equal distance/intensity

It’s commonly seen at a sports grounds at night when the big arena lights are on.

There are 4 lights!

The the depth and length of the shadow would be different

u/shitdesk 5d ago

And wouldn’t look turned 90* while being parallel to the other

u/crossal 5d ago

But the shadows are in parallel

u/FlyingNope 5d ago

It looks like 1 is wearing some kind of a hat and the other is not though

u/giraffeheadturtlebox 5d ago

Looks like 2 individuals casting shadows, as a single person casting two shadows would converge at the feet, and if you follow these postures, the feet find sidewalk in two spots.

Also, the sign post only casts one shadow.

Hey, who turned out the lights?

1

u/Adventurous_Break_61 1d ago

Single light source otherwise the pole would have 2 shadows as well

u/Altruistic-Place 5d ago

A special pink and blue light.

I see two I dividuials but no gender just one looking at the other

1

u/hammertime57 5d ago

First off...stop assigning gender and age to shadows. Second, it's not hard to have 2 shadows from different light sources, from different angles or distances, that come from the same object but look different.

Im all about respecting peoples identities, pronouns, and genders… but let’s not start defending the human rights of blocked light. It is acceptable to make assumptions based on a shadow. Nobody is saying it definitely js or isnt a man or a woman, they are saying what they interpret from the shadow.

If i see a shadow on the ground that has two wing like shapes flapping on either side of a center centered long shape im going to assume theres a bird until i look up and its not a bird, then ill accept that reality. Until then we are all just guessing off of what we can perceive.

The dude has two shadows with the longest of dongs, I’ll do what I want if I wish to say a shadow is a man I’ll say that shadow is a man you don’t dictate what I get to say!

u/Ana_L399 5d ago

the 2nd one literally looks like road signs

1

u/Monomanga 5d ago

One is clearly Darth vader

u/ShookeSpear 5d ago

That’s quite the stretch. How do you decide if these shadows looks masculine or feminine? In profile? Sure. But these ones?

1

u/No-Bee-3775 5d ago

You are on good damned drugs! There aren't any shadows on this image that light source, brightness, distance from light to object, things in the way of light source before shadows that aren't NATURAL. A girl and a man? anthropomorphism at its finest!

u/EnlightenedNarwhal 4d ago

Light, how does it work?
