Blog #4: Shadows on a Staircase

I was working on lighting focus for Nickle Mines and a part of the set is a staircase from a catwalk onto the center area. As we were focusing the lights I noticed the way the staircase cast a shadow onto the ground and also how each step cast a shadow onto the next step. I decided I would take out my flashlight on our break and explore these shadows. The pictures show some of the different things I was looking at as I look down from the top of the stairs with my flashlight pointing down. One of the more interesting things I noticed as I did this I wasn't able to get a picture of but if I was able to line myself up in the right position the shadow that is cast to the side onto the ground could be lined up with the dark side of the staircase and they would form a pyramid shape haloed by the light on the tops of the steps and the light being cast over the edge onto the ground.
