Two frames.
an easy way to see if a fisheye lens is accurate is to use a cross
the object/field in focus will have minimum distortion
Yeah, I only added a horizontal line.

if the horizon meets the center of the cross, it is accurate

Anyway to describe the picture I made... You will notice that the horizon changes position at different heights, and that despite going below the horizon line, it doesn't concave like you'd expect if you were on the surface.
So what's the argument for this?
however your gif still shows a great increase in curvature with the height
Yup. That was the purpose.
well i don't have an argument
That’s bc you’re both globe earthers lol
yes
I don’t think that was the target audience 😉
it is not
but still good
I already confronted a flat earther with it, and all I got in return was dead silence. I'm hoping someone here will actually say something.
this is what got me started
and yes it is my edit
Yeah, it's annoying when they do that. I was tempted to make a 3D sphere model with fisheye lens and make a gif that shows the problem with flattening the horizon that way.
just send all flat earthers into space so they can see that its round
rockets are kinda expensive
if you wanna prove anything, you're gonna have to go to space
but you don't understand
space doesnt exist
and rockets dont work
The flat earth society has enough money to fund a trip up high enough, they just dont want to
By who
So... Does anyone have a comment on the picture I posted? Need sources? Details? Anything?
It's a gif where I demonstrate what I'll just say is a curvature of some sort.
Taken from a weather balloon video on YouTube.
The horizon line was added in myself, and the two pictures are from the same video.
The image was also squished horizontally, as it removes any existing doubt a person might have if the curvature changed or not. I have the normal unsquished version too if you insist I post it.
are you still talking
Thinking about talking more. That's all.
I think I said everything I need to.
