Miller's Court Sun/Shadow Study

Thanks for taking the time to do these. The demolition overlay is really neat-o.

Thanks for those, Richard.
I knew the Lloyd's sketch was pretty accurate when compared to the demolition photos as it's been discussed before-that's why I wondered if the artist was also accurate with the shadows when he sketched it in Nov 88.

Thank-you for doing these. The information is amazing, probably as close as we will ever get to standing in Miller's Court.

This is very cool.

This is very cool.

It's all the shadows that are making you cool

GUT, what lens/Focal length and format do you think was used for the demolition photo? I want to create an accurate 3D overlay and use it identify as many buildings/structures as possible. For instance the houses to the right in Miller's court (on the demolition photo), I can't workout if they are still standing or have already been partly demolished. Also it will help with future shadow studies. I can also get the building heights and scales correct.

I'm assuming that the photo was taken on 120 roll?

Ultimately it would be great to have a highly accurate 3D of the demolition photo which can be zoomed into or even create a virtually fly-thru.

Where do you think the photographer was standing when taking that shot?

G'day Richard

If it was shot on 2 1/4 sq [or 6x6] then at a guess a 80mm looks pretty stock standard to me especially when compared to the sketch.

[GUT]

Though in 1928 I wouldn't rule out a plate Camera but it doesn't change the conclusion that it's a standard, so even if 35mm a 40 or 50.

Good piece of work Richardh.

I think that computer work like this will be one of the most significant advances in the study of the Whitechapel murders.

Thanks!
