    Heh, :) well, if you look closely, that's the shadow of his head on his 
right shoulder. The top-hat confirms the sun's position too. ;)

   Well, true. But there is always the lucky shot, (and I think this is the 
case in the actual book. The chap in front is supposed to be a true newbie 
with firearms, but get's lucky in the fog).

     I think I watched a film just like that many years ago, but haven't 
seen it since. He took a picture (the photographer, obviously), of someone 
<girl> for a commercial shot in a public park, and then when he developed 
the image, he saw a dead body in the background behind a bush I believe. Old 
film, but good film. Can't remember what it was called though, unless it's 
the same film you're on about.
