Fourbrick, this question is and was directed at you:
Assuming you are right (which I very much doubt, given perfectly good explanations from other people), how does claiming the picture is fake explain the shadow anomaly?
You said that his head "was the right of the post by about the separation of the gate boards - looks a little more but his head is nearer the camera so that's due to perspective" If his head is closer to the camera then the relationship between the Stair post and the fence post changes.
If the second photo was taken further away, as you say, then it has been cropped, (otherwise you would see more of Oswald not less.) If it was cropped, who cropped it?
No, nearer the camera than the post.
The second photo is taken with the camera angled further upwards, as anyone with better than a room temperature IQ can see. Because it's angled upwards, Oswald's feet are cut off. Really, can you honestly be so stupid that you can't work this out for yourself?
Dave
The funny thing is that this is quite literally one of the easiest theories to test.
Fourbrick, get a camera, have someone stand in your back yard, take some pictures moving both the camera and the subject slightly, and see what happens.
Thanks for the gratuitous insult, Dave, but the fixed points on the photo (for example the length of the stair post from marked points) shows that the second picture appears to have been taken closer than the first as the post is longer in the second picture than the first.
However, explain how if the second photo was taken closer, the relationship between the Stair-post and the end fence post stays the same.
Have done that many times, T, but due to parallax if you move the camera sideways or forwards or backwards, fixed points change their position. In these photos, this doesn't happen.
Didn't you just say that the second picture couldn't have been taken from closer than the first?
Yes, you did. Now you're saying it must have been taken from closer.
You're contradicting yourself in order to deny everything that's presented to you. Sorry, but you're clearly not capable of being rational about this any more.
Dave
No, Dave, please read what I said more carefully. I said that it appears to have been taken closer, in answer to your point that the camera had been pointed upwards, but as I have already pointed out if it was taken closer, the relationship between the stairpost and the end fence post would be different.
It's a photo. Appearance is all there is. So you're saying that it appears to have been taken from closer, but that it appears not to have been taken from closer. From which, the only thing we can conclude is that you're incapable of drawing consistent conclusions on where the photographs were taken from, and hence you have no way of determining where the shadows should fall.
It's obvious that the second photo was taken with the camera angled further upwards, because Oswald's feet are shown in the first and cut off in the second. That much is obvious. That's why you see less of Oswald in the second photo; that too is obvious. How can you possibly not be able to understand this?
Dave
No I have consistently said that the photos show the same camera position, otherwise the fixed points wouldn't line up.
It may be obvious to you, So let's see, first the photo was taken closer, then it was taken further away,
then the camera was angled.
There is no reason why it couldn't be the same background photo cropped differently. All the other fixed points in the photos would support this.
but the fixed points on the photo (for example the length of the stair post from marked points) shows that the second picture appears to have been taken closer than the first as the post is longer in the second picture than the first
Then how do you explain the differences that you claim give the appearance that the second photo was taken from nearer?
Which, as I said, was a typo. And you've got these the wrong way round.
This is nothing short of wilful idiocy. The angle of the camera and the position from which the photo is taken are independent; nothing about one claim contradicts the other.
So why did you say earlier that:
You're saying that the fixed points on the second photo show that it appears to have been taken from closer than the first, but that the fixed points on the photo also show that it's the same background photo as the first. That's nonsense.
You stopped making sense quite some time ago.
Dave
You don't get it, Ranb. If your witness is right, and th shadows conflict, then the pictures are wrong.
This one is really easy. There's a whole list of reasons why it's false which we can go through if you want but they're largely irrelevant because of one simple fact. There is no single bullet theory because there is no single bullet. The bullet found at parkland hospital was absolutely not the same bullet entered into evidence as CE399. If anyone has proof it was I'd contact the authorities as you have a major new breakthrough on your hands!
Sorry for not replying, straight away, UKE. One way of doing it would be by using a picture of the background minus Oswald and then inserting the figures after.
Before the roof falls in( from all the W.C. supporters,) let me say that is only my opinion of how it could be done.

It has been cropped.
Explain how the relationship between the stairpost and the fence post remain constant throughout the three pictures.
You're quite entitled to your opinion.
