Can someone dissect the pic of the satellite pic? I just don't see shadow of one taking pic.

I've read that you can see shadow of someone taking a pic of the satellite pic - maybe by cellphone - to pass along to someone else. I'm pretty old, and I just don't see it.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

1. No other mention of a satellite on 1st GD page - can you be more specific? (nt)

3. She's asking about the photo Trump tweeted about the launch pad in Iran.

People are saying it’s a photograph with a cell phone from an intelligence briefing.

I can’t see a shadow either.

4. OK. I would say the white blob in the middle is the flash from the phone

The hand holding it is to the lower left of the tower, and the head of the person - presumably Trump - to the right (edge of head at 'vehicle' in the right hand 'damaged support vehicle' caption). Their shoulder is at the bottom right of the photo.

2. Put your hand over the left 1/3 of the image and hold your phone away from you

Took me a bit to see what people were talking about also

5. its not the shadow but the white spot that says this is second hand photo.

6. Looks like a flash from the phone?

9. Amateur photog, that's definitely a flash/light reflection

So someone is in a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information Defense Intelligence Agency facility with a goddamned cameraphone snapping shots of printed satellite imagery.

I'd cringe but I'm not even surprised anymore.

11. Might be Trump or his aides?

He gets the photo. He takes a photo of it with his camera. He quickly tweets it.

14. Probably, I didn't use Occam's Razor nt

7. See this thread, the shadow is clear in OP.

15. That definitely clears it up! 👍

16. Shadow in 1st pic, why not in others in linked articles? Could see people calling shadow pic fake

Really appreciate all the replies.

Hope someone can help with my problems listed in title line.

8. So it was someone in a DIA facility with a cameraphone?

That's an instant firing, loss of clearance, and end of career, unless some orange asshole doesn't give a shit where those leaks are going..

[dawg day]

12. Why don't you think Trump made the cameraphone image?

Makes sense. An intel agency sent it to him. He took a pic of it and posted from his phone.

13. Yeah, I guess I failed Occam's Razor there. nt
