Hi there. Great site. Will you be analysing the Cockerell photo of 1958. IMHO it's amongst the best photos to show an unidentified, animate and indeed animated creature on the loch. Chris M.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt I will get onto that photo!
Deleteenjoy this site during this (hopefully temporary) period of unemployment
ReplyDeleteI recall the Lowrie photograph which seems little discussed these days, if memory serves the same events were observed from land by one Torquil McLeod ie there was corroboration
You're right, one of the forgotten photos.
Deleteinflatable humps? Nessie eats the bottom muck like a worm?
ReplyDeleteand then processes it into the humps as methane for warmth?
comes to the surface to flop about and fart it out when its too full? are you mad????
Nessie is a cold water pleasaur and that's that.
Hi Roland, I know you have dismissed the Shiels photo as a fake, but I wondered if you've ever seen the nearly identical one in a book called "Modern Mysteries of Britain"? It looks like the same object but seems to be stretched more straight and facing the other way. If you haven't seen it I can scan it and the accompanying text for you.
ReplyDeleteI think I know which photo you mean but send it to me anyway to confirm.
DeleteSome really good stuff on this blog. I'd be interested in people's views on the Academy of Applied Science work done under Dr Rhines in the 70s. For a long time the images from those projects seemed the closest we'd ever get to conclusive proof of the existence of large animals in the loch, though of course time has subsequently exposed some significant flaws in the setup and therefore undermined the results.
ReplyDeleteWhat do we think of Rhines? He always struck me as a well-intentioned guy but someone who arrived at Loch Ness with his narrative already decided - he then looked for imagery to fit that narrative.
Yes, there are issues with the Rines photos. I was always dubious of the "head" picture because it was nothing like that described by eyewitnesses. Subsequent diving proved the witness record was the benchmark.
DeleteThe unenhanced "flipper" picture shows something, but the opacity of the waters makes that picture and underwater photography in general difficult to analyse.
Of all the photos why not include this one on your website?

Yes, whatever is said about it, it should be here!
DeleteDo you happen to know where the cameras were moored? I'm sure i read the site was off Temple Pier.
ReplyDeleteThe 'gargoyle head' was recovered from the loch and now sits as an exhibit in the Drumnadrochit exhibition.
Yes just off Temple Pier, but I don't know the exact location.
DeleteHave you ever seen Bobbie Pollck´s 2000 film? and Richard White´s 1997 pictures? Somewhere I found that these are the best in nessie´s theme. I´ve been finding out, without success...
ReplyDeleteI may have seen them in scans of old newspapers. Some of these pre-Internet pictures do tend to get forgotten or lost!
DeleteI would need to refresh my memory on them ...
I saw a picture of a diver standing next to the prop monster made for the Sherlock Holmes film that sank near the bay by the castle. 100% sure that what Rhines photographed was the same prop. Locals I talked to in the 70's were quite clear what he had actually filmed.
DeleteHi !. Bobbie pollock won £1000 - 2002´s William Hill Awards
ReplyDeleteWhere is the footage, then ?

Thanks.
What's your take on the Rival III sonar image? (Not a pic, but close!) I didn't see anything on the site by using the Google search. I find it weird that this sonar image isn't well known and hard to find on the net. I personally think it's one of the most compelling bits of evidence for Nessie.
ReplyDeletehere it is: http://www.cryptomundo.com/wp-content/uploads/Edgerton-Sonar-AAS-1024x721.jpg
That's not the Rival III image, but I don't see the actual paper trace recorded by the crew on the web. It's a strange image, I am not sure how to interpret it!
