Bridge at Mason Park

[Gary S]

Galen, I've been paying attention to the differences in shadows from outside real world to inside layout. Looking under my model bridge, the shadow line is pretty good because the lights are lined up directly over the bridge. Still, the model concrete pilings aren't showing the marked contrast of shadow to bright like those in the real photo.

Shadow is definitely important for making things as realistic as possible, but inside in a layout room, it is just about impossible to light an entire layout well and still have the crisp shadows that we get from a single point light source. Even though I won't have really nice shadows, I still think about it.
