Olympus Camera, Stuart Martin & the photos

Looking at photos & statements re the last photo/sun thread and this bit jumped out which is just something else that doesn’t make a lot of sense.
 
8^th May. 21.00 Olympus C50 delivered to home address of Stuart Martin
9^th May. 0830  SM took video camera to Hants Police HQ
9^th May.      ?  Commenced investigation of two memory cards from camera
 Forensic photographic examination of cards plus 116 photos that he found. (116 @ say 5 minutes each(?)  = 10 hours)


9^th May       ?  GM & MW both deliver CD’s of photo’s to the PJ.
 
It must have been late in the day that SM got round to burning the CD’s, so how did GM & MW have them to deliver to the PJ that day? Even if e-mailed across, photos took ages to send in those days and often exceeded the e-mail capacity if you tried to send more than one at a time.
Had GM already downloaded the photos to CD before they were sent to Hampshire and if so why were they sat on for a few days?
Why was Michael Wright involved in giving the PJ a CD? He wasn’t even in PdL till 5^th.
 
According to KH1 p. 119 (about Gerry) on 9^th:
‘……..from the minute he got up he was on a mission….. spoke to John Buck…….Margaret Beckett…….many friends and colleagues…..
Gerry’s mobile phone appeared to be permanently attached to his ear the whole day long……..’
 
No mention of ‘recovered’ photos & delivering them to the PJ, or even any mention of MW. It was the next day (10^th) that GM gave his second interview where he stated he has ‘no others in his possession’ other than the ones he had already handed over, yet KM was apparently downstairs with her camera, notebook and pen, going through the dated photos and ‘trying to write a detailed account of everything that had happened the week before.’ (p.123).


Nothing like being helpful when they are trying to find your daughter!

Visualisation and Analysis of Photographs
 
On this date, I state that the photographs contained on a CD delivered to this police force by Gerald McCann have been visualised and analysed, some of them are from the holiday period that the McCann family spent at the Ocean Club in PdL, beginning on the 28th April 2007.
 
The visualisation and analysis of these images that was carried out reveals that there are several photographs of interest to the investigation, in which it is possible to visualise Madeleine McCann.

Visualisation and Analysis of Photographs
 
On this date, I state that the photographs contained on a CD delivered to this police force by Michael Wright, a relation of the McCann couple, relating to the holiday period that the McCann family spent at the Ocean Club in PdL, beginning on the 28th April 2007.
 
The visualisation and analysis of these images that was carried out reveals that there are several photographs of interest to the investigation, in which it is possible to visualise Madeleine McCann, as well as different adults and children that made up the group of friends who were on holiday together with the McCann couple in PdL, which is why these photographs, joined to the report, were printed.

Times, 6 October 2007

Alex Woolfall on photos of Madeleine:


The McCanns had photographs of Madeleine on their digital camera, which Mr Woolfall began transferring to a laptop computer.

"I said to Kate, 'Let's try to identify pictures where her face is visible'. Downloading the images was a very difficult process for them. It was upsetting.

[ SNIPPED ]

Mr Woolfall transmitted the photographs to the Press Association in London, from where they were distributed to the media. The portfolio included the now famous image of Madeleine wearing a hat on a tennis court.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Distributed to the media only after they had been 'vetted' by Dr Gerald McCann, Michael Wright and Alex Woolfall, to name but three.

I think the distribution to the Press Association referred to was on 24 May?

I don't think so
The red velvet top with full coloboma photo was from the Press association.
As far I alI can tell was in the Mirror on 4th. front page.   need to move quickly, you understand.
So, WHO ? HOW / WHY ?

Here it is with the PA logo bottom left.

" />

It is the front cover of St Katherine's autobiography, and appears in many other places.
No question of emphasising the coloboma, of course !
So why did they not use THIS ONE for the poster ?

Where was this image stored ?
¿ On the Canon perhaps ?

WHICH camera 'contained' the 'last (pool) photo'?

Olympus or Canon?

Very likely. 
 They didn't hand in the Canon for a reason.  This camera is probably the one they used regularly as a norm, and very likely contained lots of other photos they didnt want the police to see.

Canon.

I need an idiots guide to the cameras.

The canon was never handed in?
The olympus was but was in Hampshire on the 8th? Did the PJ send it there?

Have I got that right?

Yes you've got that right. Shockingly the Canon was never handed in, as far as we know.

Last Photo taken on the Canon.
Other pics (B&W, Grey scale, Playground) taken on the Olympus
Tennis pic unknown.

Olympus most likely belonging to the Paynes.

Compare the black and white picture in the Paraiso:



with the CCTV footage of the Paraiso:



Does it look like Fiona took the first picture above?

That is a very interesting thought!

I never saw that discussed before. 

It looks like the same bulky bloke behind them as well.

So the Olympus possibly/probably wasn't the McCann's anyway?

Which begs the question. . .
If Russell "took OUR camera off somewhere" to prepare the poster, and AT says this was after midnight
and the family and everyone else was thrown out around that time
and the Canon A620 was on the dining table when the PJ took the photo between 1am and 5am
And the Last photo was on the Canon
And the Canon was in KM's possession on 10th
And Gm went to the UK on 20/5
And GM returned from the UK with Mitchell on 22nd
And the Last photo was sent to a FRENCH Agency on 23rd
And was released to the world on 24th

after a bit your brain starts to hurt.

I would say that the black and white picture and the CCTV picture are almost the same time.

So the Olympus was the Oldfield's unless they had a camera or pictures that were handed in as well?

This picture

Are all these pictures from the Olympus?

Tennis pic unknown.

J TANNER 'took'it

"Kate didn't have her camera and Jane was there then as well and Jane took some photos of both Madeleine and Ella, thats one, that poster of Madeleine with the tennis balls, that sort of pictures" (Rachel Oldfield)

===============================================

"Madeleine's 'disappearance' NOTHING to do with US, said Fiona, sweetly, posing, directly into beach cafe CCTV. Look! we even have photo's of our 'gang' right there in the cafe!"

I've always thought it odd that the McCann's would have had two point and shoot cameras. I wonder if Amaral at the time thought the camera sent to Hampshire was the one photographed by his officers in a5?

Is that RM walking towards them?

This is all quite important I think!

The camera mystery deepens.

That would make total sense if the Olympus was theirs.

Where is the swing-frame on the CCTV? It's there on the camera pic and not on the cctv.

Is it beside DP?

There's something there washed out by the light.

Please ignore me, I'm rubbish at this but I found it a bit odd that such a structure was completely absent even given the lighting factor.

THE TENNIS BALLS PHOTO

From 'madeleine' by Dr Kate McCann, p. 57 (hardback ed.):

"Standing there listening intently to Cat's instructions, she [Madeleine] looked so gorgeous in her little T-shirt and shorts, pink hat, ankle socks and new holiday sandals that I ran back to our apartment for my camera to record the occasion. One of my photographs is known around the world now: a smiling Madeleine clutchig an earemful ofe tnis balls..."' 


1. How long did it take to 'run back to her apartment', find the camera and run back?

2. There is no other person visible in the tennis balls photo except the young girl clutching an awful lot of tennis balls for a three-year-old

3. As jeanmonroe points out, it is also claimed that Jane Tanner took the photo, not Kate McCann.


Put it this way, there is more than an element of doubt about the true provenance of that all-important photo - just as there is a deep mystery about the 'Last Photo'

SOMEONE'S TELLING 'PORKIES'!!!

From 'madeleine' by Dr Kate McCann, p. 57 (hardback ed.):

They couldn't even get THAT 'right'!

Apart from the tennis ball photo 'discrepancy' er, umm, EVERYTHING 'else', y'know, the T9 have 'told' us about 'events' of 3rd May 2007, in PDL, is, erm, y'know .................TRUE! (honest!)

Ask Hobs - I bet she`ll say never believe the person who over-eggs the pudding.  Rather than just saying `she looked gorgeous`, she has to describe the whole bloomin` outfit - one is almost waiting to hear the exact shape of the sandals and the exact tone of pink clothes and where she bought them all.
