gotcha! by summerfield

gotcha!

my sister and i went for an early dinner at the mall near her apartment building downtown. at the corner though, we found that the main east/west street was blocked for two blocks on either side as there was an on-going police investigation (eye candies galore!). turned out there was a stabbing inside the street car part of which you see on the left. when we finished dinner, the street was still blocked, the streetcar was still stranded, although the ambulance had left with the victim. that's my sister on the right with the big backpack. she had the audacity to ask one police officer what was happening and that's how i know there was a stabbing. i had my camera with me so i stopped to take a couple of photos. then i thought i'll take a photo of the man taking videos. i was trying to adjust my setting so when i finally took my shot, i saw that the video man's camera was aimed at me. 😂 when i crossed the street to where my sister was, the videographer smiled at me.

spot the anomaly. where i stood, i was facing east, the sun was setting from behind me, as evidenced by the light on the buildings at the back.
Are the shadows wrong if the sun was setting behind you?
Great photo journalism shot!

Intriguing. Were the shadows from the reflected light or maybe from a portable camera light for the guy filming? Hope nobody died.....stabbings are horrible things.

Goodness. Sad to hear about a stabbing but it made me smile that you spotted the eye candy.

You got your very own eyewitness photo.

I was wondering if the shadows going the wrong way was because of reflected light

My goodness. That's quite a street scene. I think the videographer is smiling. I think the light is right on the buildings in the distance. It must be how the light is reflected on the building to the right (that we can't see) to cause the shadows to be backward.
