Those Front Steps

[Ray Mitcham]

Why would removing the wide handrail increase the shadow cover? 

By removing the side rail, it increases the amount of space available for somebody standing in the shadow.

Removing the side rail does not increase the amount of shadow on the steps and landing. Yet that's what your altered version of Mr Speer's photograph does. You need to fix it!

Different rail 

"And why would removing any rail increase the amount of shadow on the steps and landing?

"different rail" Yes, and the present rail is even wider than the one shown in the link.

Read my last post again, Alan.  I said it increases the amount of space, in the shadow, available for somebody to stand in. It isn't very hard to understand.

Good on ya Ray, but Ford ain't so bright and it's not easy to explain the simplest of concepts but at least he's got a good imagination.

Imagine the door coming closer to the camera as blah blah blah

And thats it folks, Alan's only way to explain any problem is to have a good imagination. Geez, an expert in his own mind.
I have already acknowledged that the landing was a bit deeper(from memory a couple of feet) in 2019 but as I showed the tight angle across a longer distance only adds a little to the shadow and adds nothing to this discussion because Lovelady was standing on the steps 56 years ago in 1963. Doh!
Btw not since the days of Cinque have I seen LNers and CTs standing together to oppose such a scatter brain theory.

Happy to, Mr Nickerson!

Mr Lee Harvey Oswald was standing just behind Mr Billy Lovelady at the time of the assassination:



 

Hilarious, they painted a shadow onto Lovelady to hide Oswald but "they" missed the growth coming out of the side of Lovelady's head? WOW.
But considering "they" did all this acquiring, developing, transferring, painting, drying, telecining all in a single afternoon, then missing that huge growth must have been part of the plan, now all we have to do is wait for Ford's wonderful imagination to help us fill in tbe gaps, waiting......
Btw the very foundation of this theory is painting "black" onto celluloid, has Ford actually consulted with any film specialists to establish the feasibility of acclomplishimg this monumental task without detection?
