Actually, I appreciate what you're saying about the differing (intended) perspectives of the boat, which is precisely why I re-examined my first impressions of them, trying to correct any misperceptions of mine that could be misleading. My apologies for not being clearer in my revision (I shouldn't try to explain weird crap when over-tiredSmokingGunII wrote:Maat/Brian
There is nothing amiss with the different perspectives of the ferry boat. The "bulkhead" thing doesn't disappear, nor does the muddy floor, they are obscured.
I have much respect for both of you, but I do believe that a lot of the photographic analysis on this board (it was the same with 7/7) is flawed....
As I said, 'they show the intended perspective but end up proving more impossible — the white 'partition' thing is supposed to be a view from above the roof of the wheelhouse (which is right at the back of the boat!)'. Ref: http://www.cluesforum.info/viewtopic.ph ... 8#p2357438
I still can't understand how those 'perspectives', supposedly from above and behind the wheelhouse roof, explain away the practical impossibilities of that perspective in the first place! i.e. Where was the "photographer" ?
Because they are contrived, their 'perspectives' are obviously "flawed" to begin with, so it's hardly surprising if we have trouble figuring out WTF it's supposed to represent in the process — and analysis is a tedious 'trial & error' learning process anyway, is it not?
**EDIT: Maybe this will help demonstrate why my brain can't reconcile these images with real 3D objects — i.e. how the visible area & angles of the upright 'roof' edge (outlined in red) appear to remain static, impervious to depicted changes in 'perspective'
1.) High from behind & to the right:

2.) Higher from above:

3.) High as 2 & slightly to the left:

*** Edit NOTE: Forward bow end of the steel railing, the two mooring bitts (not visible in pic 1.) definitely change position in pics 2. & 3. with the perspective view changes, but not the roof edge angles?
