Expression interpretation

"tight shadows"

I've seen this written several times in books, what could this mean ?

Thanks in advance

A full sentence, a link, and a little context woukld be nice. I poked around and found "tight" to be a term photographers use in flash photography to describe a shadow that makes a narrow band around the subject, as opposed to a "halo" shadow, which forms a sort of dark cloud around it. Some seem to use it to mean a shadow with sharp edges, not fuzzy.
