View attachment 74934 I did find a better picture of marker 16 in a news report. And very true about naked eye vs camera view. Especially edited media stuff.
Perspective is lost in a lot of these camera shots, unfortunately. For instance, in this particular photo, I can tell there is a tape measure, and that it's measuring the distance from
something in the grass to either the driveway or the edge of the road. But because the photo lacks true perspective, I can't tell if the tape measure extends to the ditch a bit further back from the road, or if it's measuring something in the grass to the side of the driveway. The only thing I can say for certain from this photo is that the tape measure is measuring the distance from a piece of evidence marked #16, to something that might possibly be the driveway.
Another thing about the dump site, in terms of screwing up perspective, is the grass being so over grown. When the camera takes a shot through this waist high grass, it pushes everything in the distance to the front of the camera. In several shots, the white shed looks like it's almost right on top of you, because the overgrown grass forces a false perspective.
You'd think the aerial shots would offer a better sense of perspective, and in many ways, they do...but the waist high grass plays tricks with the eye even then. For instance, several posters are convinced that the location of the body is actually on concrete because they see a glare that, to their eye, looks like concrete that extends all the way the the brick shed on the right. What they are actually seeing, imo, if a blur from the grass blowing (it was windy when these shots were taken).
So...like I said, VERY difficult to look at still shots under these conditions, and definitively say that what you
think you see is actually what is there.
