your perspective varies depending on how tall you are and where you hold the camera

so the camera is not like this, Kevin?

you can hold the camera from the ground or 6 feet off the ground, you'll see less from the ground and more 6 feet off the ground

That's not an answer to my question

yes or no

and if you are in a hotel room lets say on the 3rd floor, you will see more

you're on the beach

and want to photo the horizon

its an example of a video you refuse to watch

its a model

I've watched it

the entire video you watched where it talked about optics

Exactly. But it doesn't apply when the camera is **above the ground**

when its talking about the first parts of the video of view distance, that applies regardless of where you look at it from

you can only see so far and stuff gets smaller the further out it is

of course

but we have a zoom lens *:v*

so perspective says a ships bottom is under the horizon

but if you zoom in you can see the entire ship

No?

its not blocked

There is no way a ship can be under the horizon if the camera is above the horizon

asking me or him?

you can have the entire ship disappear over the horizon, none of it visible, then pull it back into view with zoom

false

your eye can't see it because of perspective

there are videos online where you can see that

but a camera can

once the camera can't

then it's gone

its gone over the horizon, if it was an actual curve that blocked it, you couldn't pull it back with zoom

and you can't

there is no curve because you can zoom it back in

when it **actually** goes over the curve

that's not over the curve then

that's unresolved

8 inchces squared per mile

2 miles is roughly 32 inches

3 miles is roughly 6 foot of blocking

there's no blocking.
