photo alteration by the media


Recommended Posts

Greater enlargement and enhancement indicates the

Corham photographer had 2 35mm cameras (wide plus

telephoto) and a movie camera with pistol grip...plus a

case for the movie camera.

I have 4 Leicas, and the two depicted look very similar

to cameras that I have.

Sorry, Jack. that's the miller photo very reduced with round corners. It just eneded up that way when I put a border on it. The red line is a suggestion of the corner of the Corham building to use in lining up the image to see where the photographer may have been standing. If you go to the aerial link,you can also select the 2001 aerials and zoom in even more (see the colored aerial, select tab on top right at terraserver images). What's the chance of someone popping over there and replicating it?

I didn't recognize it because it was upsidedown!

Photographing the same scene now is impossible because the

scene is not the same. Stemmons is now a ten-lane roadway

and looks more like this (a mile or so past the Corham

location).

If you look at post 277

http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.ph...ost&p=68753

the corham building (under the a in the yellow Corham text lower left corner of image) was still there in 2001. (If it is the correct Corham address.)

(It's a big ask of an elderly citizen, perhaps a younger Dallas member could help out?)

Jack, I don't want to interrupt your fine photo analysis, but I took the liberty of rotating tha photo correctly so not to confuse the reader. I hope that it didn't change your interpretation of what you thought you were seeing.

I guess this one is a bit further on.

It seems his movements has been to get into this position. The miller photo with foot as suggested could be seen as a reversal of intent?

Question for those who HAVE NO CLUE!

Exactly What is the black shape COVERING the lower triangle chrome strip.

Hints for the "its a hand" crowd...its not a shadow or a reflection of the seat.

Try dealing with this tidbit before wasting more bandwidth....

Age has nothing to do with it. The temperature outside today will be 104 degrees, the Corham

building is 25 miles* from my location, Stemmons ten-lane traffic is deadly, and nothing would

be resolved re hand vs shoe...which is of minor import and not worth the trouble. I will stay

in the airconditioning instead of wasting three hours.

John...that photo shows the limo ON THE EXIT RAMP of Stemmons, going

to Parkland.

To the contrary, turning the photo enables the viewer to see it as

one might see a shoe, instead of upsidedown. For instance,

looking at the "shoe sole", we see that the "sole" meets the "heel"

in the middle; we see that the upper area of the "shoe" is white

instead of black. At this angle, one more easily sees the shirt cuff,

etc.

OK, Jack. No worries, (my mum at 82 is more gutsy than me). I felt a definite confirmation would be nice simply in order to proceed with a look at how the leg/hand combo could go the way it seems to. IMO, if it is not Clints right foot, then that notion is supported by those photo's being in the sequence suggested.

I'll proceed as if the Miller is 8 seconds after the Hankins.

It doesn't make sense that he goes from the leg stretched out rearward, to where he has it raised with the hand on knee as in the Hankins. Then he drops his leg into Kennedy's hip to achieve the position suggested by some in the Miller, then goes through the motions to where he is sitting on the right side as in the exit photo.

Rather: IMO::the photos could show a smooth transition where he lifts his leg over Kennedys hand/leg then places it on an available area on the seat and swings around to the exit photo position.

Drawn in green is what the absurd white shoe would look like at a

"normal" viewing angle. The shoe cannot be twisted enough that

the sole lines up with the MIDDLE of the heel. And despite what

Lamson says, a BLACK SHOE cannot photograph as white.

Fortunately, these provocateurs are revealing themselves as

phonies in their stubborn insistence that a hand is a shoe, and

that is the best thing about this little exercise.

John...it would be interesting for you to show the three pix in sequence with

your comments.

Jack , that's like saying if you turn the photo over that the limo may look like something else ... that's crazy! The photo as we are seeing it has been lightened, which as I said before will exand the light areas out of their original boundries on the original photo. The sunlight has illuminated the leather shoe ...

A similar glare on Hill's shoe can be seen in this studio photo directly below. (resembles glare in the Newman photo shoe)

Another example below. (resembles glare seen in the Miller photo shoe)

Shoe lighting changes.

Another thing ... Older style dress shoes had a narrow sole between the ball of the foot and the heel. This meant that the sides of the shoe was desinged to curl under the inner and outter instep. When one rolls the shoe onto its side - that part of the shoe where it curls under (see red arrows) will visually spread out under the heel. The way it is seen is related to the angle at which it is seen.
