intensity of light striking the object
rays of light passing through the object
nature of the object
opacity of the object
Uitleg
The characteristics of a shadow are dependent on the intensity of the light source. A hard light will produce a shadow with a sharp edge, a soft light will produce a shadow with a more blurry edge.
