Bellingcat ’s new Shadow Finder Tool helps you quickly narrow down where an image was taken.
By comparing the height of an object with the length of its shadow, you can learn how high the sun is in the sky.
The tool works out the date and time of an image taken, and can identify the ring of possible areas where the image was captured.
The beach is likely on the coast of Algeria , Italy , Croatia , Yemen , Somalia , or Djibouti .
If you have several images taken at different times, you can narrow down the location even further with the Shadow Finder Tool .
The time and date of the image must be known - The object and its shadow must be roughly at right angles to the camera - The shadow should not be significantly distorted by the camera lens (as with a fish-eye lens).
