Berner St. 1909 Sun/Shadow Study

[GUT]

G'day Richard

As always well done.

However I have always wondered if that is a shadow, or is it decoration on the gate. Your demonstration seems to confirm it as a shadow.

I've knocked out a shadow study for the 1909 Berner street photo in order to show that the cartwheel was indeed fastened to the wall overhanging the pavement. When I first looked at this image many years ago I assumed the cartwheel was attached to the Workingmen's Club wall. I think it's an easy mistake to make so I hope this little study helps others (like me) visualise the scene.

Here's the time-lapse:



And here's a pic of frame 33 showing very close shadow match with the photo (see red circles) and which I suggest demonstrates that this photo was taken around 11:15 am on that morning:
