If I remember correctly you're into photography so maybe you can tell me...

Why is there a flat horizon in this guy's (Vadim Makhorov) pictures, when a fish eye lens isn't used that is, when the horizon should be falling away to the left and right? I want to get my head around this so I'm asking.



Every...

...single...

...time.

...no matter where the picture is taken.

An obvious fish eye lens shot...

If I were taking the photo, I would use corrective software to level the horizon, much the same as they use for upshots of tall buildings, so as to avoid the viewers getting vertigo.

Could also be a panoramic camera shot.

I don’t know the math but there needs to be quite a large expanse of horizon to be able to see the curvature of the earth.

Can’t say from my own experience as my world is one mountain after another and I have never been able to see more than a few miles of uninterrupted horizon.

Everything here is lumpy.

Because every scientist, and every government agency has been lying to us for the past 100 years and the Earth really is flat. What would be the motive to do that?

I’m curious as to why every single astronaut who supposedly walked on the moon will not swear to it on the Bible. Actually I think one did. But the rest didn’t, wouldn’t, couldn’t.
