but it depends on the focal length of the camera
the lens actually
Are you serious? Even a focal length can't make it look small like that with the moon landing clips.
yes, you don't appear to understand focal length and photography
Okay, let's go with your hypothesis. Do you have the moon landing focal length mm and the picture that I posted mm?
No i'd have to go look them up
I bet they're different
Look them up please.
K
But no matter what, your statemetn that it's impossible to look that way, is wrong
becasue now you know that focal length changes the relative size of the foreground and back ground
Stay on subject please, find out the 2 different focal length because they would need to be very different to make it work like that.
If you're far beyond the moon, and if the moon is smaller than the earth, then it's possible to see the moon smaller than the earth. If you're on the moon looking at the earth, then it's possible the earth looks smaller than the moon.
@BallsOutScience do you mean Angular Field of View???
@rivenator12113 This is on topic
you made a statement that those two images prove one is faked
but I showed you how this can be a simple difference in focal length
So your original statement is bunk
I did prove it
I showed how this effect happens at different focal lengths
I don't have to look up the numbers to show that what you originally said was wrong
about the relative sizes of the earth and moon
Now that your original statement is wrong, are you still defending it?
You said it was because of focal length, now back it up with evidence with a NASA source saying that they were different focal length.
Hold up, guys @BallsOutScience @rivenator12113 I need to understand something about this part of the debate. Are we talking about how the earth and moon are both in focus?
I'm a bit confused
Ya it is, as demonstrated by the gif
THe size of the earth in the background
he said it's impossible
I showed how it's very possible due to a focal length difference
But now he's moving the goal post
Provide evidence that they had different focal length as you stated earlier. If you can't please don't come up with an assumption that you can't back up with evidence.
@BallsOutScience I would argue that it's not so much due to different focal lengths, but rather angular field of view.
All i said was focal length can make this happen
Do you deny that
And that's just based on my experience of working with some cameras.
I never said i knew the focal lengths
@SunRazor focal length and angular field of view are related intimately
