Those Front Steps

   My disagreement with You is,........

If you want to engage me in conversation don't start with a negative followed by another list of stupid advice/observations, because that's when I stop reading.

No worries, I have already stated on numerous occasions that the landing is deeper today and if there is a huge difference where the sun plane hit's the door then prove it, but remember your usual proof of "it just looks right to me" is not very scientific and won't be accepted?
And btw this is the perfect opportunity for you to earn some credibility and prove that your 3D shadow models that we have been using actually match Speer's shadow line, surely a simple comparison isn't beyond your abilities?

    We were discussing the TSBD Landing on another thread. It was posted that the landing was 4 feet deep and that the TSBD front door was 4 feet wide. Again, I have Not verified these dimensions. That said, the lack of depth that the landing had in 1963 also Limits the number of people that could stand atop it single file back toward the TSBD. If it is Only 4 feet deep, and you have a door that Opens onto the landing that is 4 feet wide, there can Not be a lot of people situated on that Landing.

 Of course You "stop reading". This is your equivalent of a 5 year old kid putting his fingers in his ears so he will Not hear Daddy correcting him. Consider yourself corrected Jr.

"a tiny sliver of shadow", lol

Thanks for the higher res graphic.
1, The shadow is not Jet Black.
2. The shadow line is not a curtain.
3. The shadow naturally follows Lovelady's shirt.
4. The detail and associated highlighting in the entire shadow is consistent with Lovelady's shadow.
5. The level of artistry on display in the photo realistic Lovelady shadow is really a sight to behold and to think they did this not once but a dozen times with jerky, motion blurred, hand held film? Far out man, far out!

Yes, and again I stopped reading after the initial few words, don't take it too hard but your opinion really is worthless.

(~Sigh~) Your altered version of Mr Speer's photograph, Mr Mitcham, added fake shadow to the real shadow, because you need some makey-uppey shadow to make your placement of Mr Lovelady way over towards the west wall a little less ridiculous.

That clear enough for you?

 

The right hand line of the shadow exactly follows the right hand line in the original photo.
Please point out where I added fake shadow ..outside (i.e to the right of) the line of the shadow of the west Column.

James H,
What is the distance from the west wall to where the shadow intersects the landing?
Thank you,
Chris
