Re: The world isn't flat

Tom,

This is all wrong! If the earth was'nt flat, the water would drip away
from its side and fall into the void underneath and the lake would be
empty. If the lake is'nt empty, then it means that the earth can't be
round. Can't beat that argument, can you? ...!! -:))

In fact, I'm sure your picture is a counterfeit, like perhaps you bent
the sides of the paper during the printing under the enlarger, or
something like that, to get the bent horizon! -:))

Seriously, what kind of focal length did you have on your pinhole and
what kind of "camera obscura" contraption did you use.

The bent horizon looks about like what I get on my 35mm camera when I
put my 16mm semi-fisheye lens. So this is a super wide angle. But how
is it that you don't get light to fall off on the edges (Hmmm, perhaps
something similar to what keeps the water from dripping away from the
sides of the bent horizon!?)

Then I can't quite figure the format either. Like if you had used a 120
panoramic camera. Is that the case?

Tell us more!
