Shadow or Dust?

    Is there any way to look at the pics and say if they are shadows or dust?

    Hi there. The more images you see, the easier it gets. Honest. 😃

    One thing to keep in mind is that in the images here on Planet Four the sunlight is coming in from the bottom-right. So 'spider' channels carved into the surface (like the ones in your image) are lit up on the top-left side, with the lower side in shadow. If there are any 'bumps' or other raised objects, they will be sunlit on the bottom-right side and have a shadow on the top-left side.

    So practice doesn't make perfect, but it does make progress. Hope that helps. 😃
