Heads Up!

[Albert Doyle]

You don't need photogrammetry to know that the single most important factor in determining the size of an image is the ratio between the size and the distance from the camera. It's called "forced perspectice" (I think). That's how your thumb is able to blot out the moon.

The difference of distances between "Prayer Woman" and Frazier is very small compared to the distance from the camera (roughly a city block). Therefore, their relative actual image sizes are less affected by "forced perspective" than, say, the "cookout" photo (if that is the Civil Air Patrol photo) where the camera is roughly 20 feet or so away, and the difference in distance from the camera between Oswald and Ferrie is, therefore, far more significant in their resulting image sizes.

It is about time that members stood up and disallowed these bogus forced perspective entries. My evidence is sound and Prayer Man is at the front of the landing due to the correct information I cited. The bottom line is the alleged perspective shift between Frazier and Prayer Man in Darnell does not exist and a plain view comparison between the two can be made. You can simply see with the naked eye that there's a 6-7 inch difference in height between Frazier and Prayer Man which excludes Oswald. This settles the issue using sound analysis and common sense. The science these gentlemen cite is actually the science that disproves them.


If you tried to use the cookout photo for your side the people resisting this would be the first to say they were different cameras at different distances with different subjects and a different lens etc, which would all be true. Meanwhile the evidence in the portal places Prayer Man in the same curved arc as Frazier in relation to Darnell's camera. I hope people learn the lesson that metadata and tech browbeating do not defeat or replace a good common sense gum shoe analysis.
