I don't know if this is correct or not, but me and my friends have been arguing about this one thing:
When someone [mortal] puts on the ring, don't they still cast a shadow? I remember at one point in The Hobbit when Bilbo is trying to esacpe from what I believe was a Goblin/Orc stronghold, he almost makes it out of the door, but his shadow is seen and chased after.
My friends arguments are that either this isn't a fact, or that it is, but the scenes where Frodo/Bilbo puts on the Ring are all shot at night/dark... I don't know, if there's light for scenery to be seen, there should be a shadow... It seems like an important feature of the ring, taking away everything but your shadow. I hope this thread isn't too old for anyone to see it, my friends and I need answers...
