Re: The Backyard Photos
Sorry for the delay been away on business.
To help you.
In C133c the sun is at higher than in C133A. This is shown by the shadows of the overhead cables on the stair post.
The shadows of fixed objects in C133C, show that the azimuth of the sun is 250˚ - 5˚ (Warren Commission said the camera was pointing 70˚ North, and sun is approx 5˚ right of camera.)
The shadow of the cables on the stair-post in C133A are approx 6” higher than in C133C.
To achieve, this the sun must have moved 5˚ West. i.e. Azimuth of 250˚, and several degrees lower in the sky.
(See NASA Solar Position Calculator site- <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/grad/solcalc/azel.html">http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/grad/solcalc/azel.html</a><!-- m -->
insert “Dallas” 30 March 1963. 15.27.26
Note Azimuth (245˚) and Sun Elevation. (31.88˚)
Then insert time as 15.52.05. Azimuth (250˚) and Elevation (27.53)
Results show that the sun moved 5˚ West and the elevation sank from 31.88˚ to 27.53˚.
Oswald is standing in roughly the same place in both photos.
As the elevation of the sun in C133A is 3.72˚ lower than in C133C, then his shadow should be shorter than in C133A.
It isn't. It is longer.
If the sun moved 5˚ West, then the shadow of the stair-post would have disappeared behind the stair-post
It doesn't.
If the photos were taken from the same position, the shadows of Oswald in all three photos are askew. Oswald's shadow in C133A should be less acute (i.e closer to the line of his body) than in C133B and C133A.
It isn't.
(If you disagree with the approximate distance of 6" between the shadows then please provide your evidence.)
