Bigfoot - The Patterson-Gimlin Film

Beside the possible track, yes. But the "track" appears to be in the soil. Also, the stick is probably only one of thousands that Patty had to navigate through. It was not all sand. I have pictures of the exact site as it is now (Yes, I know it has changed in 40 years, but the area is still a "mine-field" of sticks, rocks, logs and debris.)
 
His thumb is in a shot right after the footprint. Check out my link and you'll see for yourself. It's there.

Patterson must be good if he opened up the lens just as his hand blocked the light for his shot. He must have 3 hands.

I'm not sure why his thumb ended up in the shot. Maybe that's why that little piece of film was cropped out of one copy in the first place. Maybe Roger later thought it was not professional looking. Or maybe someone else is the culprit. All I know is that a whole piece of film was cut out of one of the copies. Why? It's anyone's guess.

What is causing that shadow, Luminous?

It's possible that the "print" was made when the soil was damp and that it might have dried out and "caked" together and was lifted by the heat of the sun. It could also be that it lifted as the other half of the track had collapsed into what appears to be a possible incline behind it. Lots of possible causes, but we'll never know for sure because we weren't there.

It almost looks like a tear was spliced, come to think of it.

Don't really see how a thumb could get in the shot.

Thought the same thing until I saw it for myself. It's there. No doubt about it. How and why are the questions.

I'm taken aback. I'm gob-smacked, dumb-founded, flabber-gasted, blown away. I'd like to say that I've never seen pareidolia so far gone before but sadly, no. Forget the obvious piece of dead wood, the thumb claim is spectacular. Nevermind asking why his thumb would be in the shot, I wanna know why it's transparent.

So Roger filmed that "track" well after he fimed Patty strolling by then?

Was this before or after the 3.5 mile jaunt after Patty?

Where are these still camera shots? Who wouldn't take a few good shots with a much better camera they had with them?
 
I guess LTC8K6 beat me to this. It's a log or a very big branch. BTW Lum, virtually every clip and/or photo you have ever seen in regards to this has been run through a filter mask of some sort, high pass, color, sharpening . . . optical printer and/or digital.

This is one of those posts when I have question why I even bother.

Eh. I'm still thinking repairs to a torn film.

Nevermind. Mangler's much clearer shots kill that idea.

It's just wood, imo. :D

It even has a shadow, so it cannot possibly be Roger's thumb, imo.
