A Car, A Garden, And A Coupla Guys

[Royell Storing]

\  To test the location of the car either parked along the south (or north) curb of the Elm Extension, as seen in the Wiegman film, I plotted Wiegman’s position with test south curb versus north curb cars on a DP map. The plot showed the north curb car about twice the distance from the camera compared to a south curb car. Then for equal sized cars the north curb car would appear about one half the size of the south curb car to Wiegman’s camera.  I made a quick 3D view animation to demonstrate this and added a 5.5’ black suit man for comparison. It looks to me that the Wiegman car is nearer to the south curb. Note that I gave the test cars a steel-blue color (not white) for the 3D animation for modeling development use.

 

   What we see at ground level behind Fedora Man, is identical to what we see behind the ladies on the (R) that are standing in the street. Surface Street is what we are seeing behind both. Seeing the surface street behind Fedora Man means that car is clearly parked on the other side of the Elm St Extension. That car is parked  near the "wide open" Huge Gates, and is facing toward the railroad yard.
