  1. Chris, it would be nice if you'd explain what you have done to this photo. I see you have pasted an extra Lovelady between PM and the Lovelady belonging to this photo. The one you pasted is from the other frame in that animated gif. That frame/photo is in much better focus, which you can tell by comparing the two Loveladys here in this composite. My question for you, Chris, is what did you do to de-blur PM so that we can even make out one of his eyes. And I see the white spot is bigger now, but more importantly is quite square with definite edges. How is that possible, given that the original is so out of focus and void of such detail? I know that de-blurring of an out-of-focus picture is possible. But it has its limits and I'm fairly certain that de-blurring of this photo would not bring out an eye. And you think this is a woman??? What makes you say that? You're joking, right? Sandy, It appears you recognize the left eye of this person, as did my wife (who could care less about the assassination) and myself, almost immediately. Otherwise. I don't believe you would have asked this question: My question for you, Chris, is what did you do to de-blur PM so that we can even make out one of his eyes. I did not de-blur anything. The process was simple: Photoshop: Image: Adjustment: Shadow/Highlights: Amount 75 Tonal Width 75 and then: Photoshop: Curves: RGB Channel: Output 35 Input 85 In other words, lighten the shadow area, then create contrast within. Done deal
  2. Good question. Either nobody knows or nobody is talking. P.S. Your white mug idea is not bad. Assume that Lovelady had the white object in hand and he raised it up. Where/how high does the white object get raised to in relation to Lovelady's face? i.e. eyes, forehead, nose Chris, you're a genius! You've done it again. I'll take your challenge, when I find a little time. I think it will be enlightening. Sandy, I was wrong. It appears the person in Weigman is a woman, holding a coffee mug, out in front of her mouth. Lovelady's head cloned as a height comparison to the white object.

  5. I like it. The elbows are an even better match with the camera. imo
  6. Yeah, I found some on eBay. Here's one with a pistol grip and light: The problem with this is that the light is too far above the hand. So is the lens. It doesn't fit what we see in the videos. btw, This is the photo I used in the preceeding gif. He is holding the movie camera with a pistol grip.
  7. I've always felt the elbow positioning dictated someone holding a camera. Robin made me question that original thought with the introduction of a coffee cup. This gif is not quite the exact body orientation, but it's fairly close. A camera it is. imo
  8. I believe this will be the last of Tom's documents I'll be introducing: Referring back to post#72 also, it's obvious that Shaneyfelt is keeping this total distance of 61ft in sync moving down Elm St. 39.66ft + 21.34ft = 61ft
  9. How did I arrive at 1.17ft above the windowsill ledge for surveyed zframe 207? There are a couple of ways to go about this: The easy way is look at survey frame z207, the 92.07 entry (right side of triangle) equals an elevation of 492.07ft The windowsill elevation is 490.9ft, look at the top right of the graphic within this post. Subtract these two and the difference is the rifle height above the windowsill. Or, Since I know the WC used 3.27ft as JFK's head elevation in every single frame surveyed (CE884), I can subtract that from the base elevation of the triangle ( 427.02) and add 3.27ft to the height (65.05) = 427.02 - 3.27 = street elev of 423.75 Subtract this street elev of 423.75 from the windowsill elevation of 490.9ft, since this is to the street. 490.9 - 423.75 = 67.15 and add 3.27ft to the height (65.05) = 68.32 elev And finally, subtract 68.32 - 67.15 = 1.17ft You have to remember there are measurements to the street and measurements to a spot 3.27ft above the street. chris And, with the limo at 21.34ft, this horizontal distance, converted back to a vertical distance elevation in terms of the Elm St. slope (1ft vertical per 18.3ft horizontal) = 21.34/18.3 = 1.166ft In essence, a match for the determination of the (rifle barrel end) elevation, 1.17ft above the windowsill ledge for surveyed zframe 207
  10. The .56ft elevation difference coupled with the bogus distance traveled .9ft from z168-z171(CE884 final plat) or z161-z166(CE884 WC final) and added to the difference between (Time/Life determination of shot at extant 207 and FBI/SS determination) 10.2ft farther west down Elm St when converted, equals a total distance of: 10.24ft + .9ft + 10.2ft = 21.34ft This distance equals the exact length of the limo, provided from the WC document in post #3. 256.1" / 12 = 21.34ft
  11. Excerpt from post #118: The slight adjustment between 3.33ft vs 3.27ft is the difference between these elevations = .06ft vertical = .06 x 18.3(1ft vert. per 18.3ft horizontal) = 1.098ft .62ft - .06ft (southerly adjustment see Tom's notes post #118) = .56ft elevation.
  12. 110ft/18.3 = 6.01ft. elev change. 490.9 - 423.07 = 67.83ft -60.7(window frame sill)- .5(curb height)= 6.63ft elev change. 6.63-6.01 = .62ft elev difference
  13. I believe this will be the last of Tom's documents I'll be introducing:
  14. At 3.27ft above the street, which is what the WC determined JFK's head height to be for all CE884 entries, this converts quite closely to an Elm St elevation change of 61ft. 61ft /18.3 (1ft vert. per 18.3ft horizontal) = 3.33ft vs 3.27ft I will introduce the slight WC adjustment between the two a little later. The slight adjustment between 3.33ft vs 3.27ft is the difference between these elevations = .06ft vertical = .06 x 18.3(1ft vert. per 18.3ft horizontal) = 1.098ft Or, as Tom writes per his conversations with Robert West:
  15. 3.27ft elev. change in relation to 8.8ft and extant z207 would look like this:
  16. .0545ft = .0545 x 12" = .654inch Excerpt from post#106: The 6.7" lead (CE560) is an instantaneous distance resolver. imo 6.7"/.654 = 10.24min = 10.24ft
  17. Visually speaking. A one degree change plotting from extant z207. Scale is 1inch = 10ft
  18. Street slope = 3.13degrees 3.13degrees = 1ft vertical per 18.3ft horizontal ratio 1ft /18.3ft = .0546ft vertical per 1ft horizontal
  19. 1degree = 60minutes 3.27ft / 60 minutes = .0545ft per minute
  20. SurveyInfo for Z207 will help: Difference between 21deg11min and 21deg50min = 2.14ft = 39min Height used for JFK's head above the street in CE884 all frames = 3.27ft 3.27ft/2.14ft = 1.528… x 39min = 59.593...min = 1degree 3.27ft vertical = 1degree
  21. Since I know the WC used 3.27ft as JFK's head elevation in every single frame surveyed (CE884), I can subtract that from the base elevation of the triangle ( 427.02) and add 3.27ft to the height (65.05) = 427.02 - 3.27 = street elev of 423.75 Subtract this street elev of 423.75 from the windowsill elevation of 490.9ft, since this is to the street. 490.9 - 423.75 = 67.15 and add 3.27ft to the height (65.05) = 68.32 elev And finally, subtract 68.32 - 67.15 = 1.17ft You have to remember there are measurements to the street and measurements to a spot 3.27ft above the street. chris Since I don't have surveys for most frames on CE884, the method above can be used if one has access to an online conversion calculator, easier than manually computing the appropriate figures. I'll give you an example using zframe 222 from CE884: 20deg23min = 20.38deg 490.9ft - 422.84ft (426.11- 3.27) = 68.06ft elev = street to windowsill frame The determined height of 65.68ft dictates the hypotenuse length which equals the "line of sight" distance from rifle to JFK's head 3.27ft above the street. 65.68ft + 3.27ft = 68.95ft - 68.06ft = .89ft = height of rifle above the windowsill frame at z222 according to CE884. .89ft = 10.68 inches above the windowsill frame = 26.68 inches above the floor = .68 inches above the sniper's perch box. Compare this to the rifle height above sniper box at z207.
  22. Take 8.8 missing ft and add the B.S. 1.4ft (CE560) supposed to represent a 6.7 inch lead height which would be reflective of a limo traveling at 28.63 mph, the answer is: 8.8ft + 1.4ft =10.2ft Shaneyfelt, Frazier, Eisenberg, etc... P.S. The limo traveling at 28.63 mph circa extant z207 would equal a one shooter tie-in to the SE 6th floor location. The limo speed at extant Z207 could have been 28.63mph, I just don't believe that is the case. The 6.7" lead (CE560) is an instantaneous distance resolver. imo Remember, the formula for Elm St. at 3.13degree street slope = 1ft vertical per 18.3ft horizontal. Treating the 6.7" lead as a vertical measurement in conjunction with the Elm St. slope equation would look like this: 6.7"/12" = .55833... .55833 x 18.3 = 10.21ft Post #33 as a follow up, if interested.
