Barrel Roll.

http://thulescientific.com/Lynch%20Curvature%202008.pdf

Let's have some fun.

Remember, this photo was taken with a Canon PowerShot SD870 IS. To confirm this, I saved the file and checked it myself:



Here's the test image for this camera model:

http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/SD870IS/SD870ISVFAWB.HTM

I loaded the test image into a photo editing program to correct the barrel distortion:



It turns out this camera needs a setting of about -10 points to make the lines appear straight:



So let's apply the same correction to our photo:

So how about it, Tom?  Are you still blind?

You guys are having trouble comprehending what the article states. This quote is from the article, and I think this is Tom's point.

 Photographs purporting to show the curvature of the Earth are always suspect because virtually all camera lenses project an image that suffers from barrel distortion.

The article is explaining how to measure curvature, and it says that this can be done through photographs if you take the relevant factors into account. It does not say the curvature doesn't exist.

Tom is attempting to cite this article as evidence for his claims. Evidently, he's the one who didn't read it. Or is he arguing with himself? Observe:

Quote from: Tom Bishop on January 25, 2012, 06:08:49 PM
That video is alleged to have been taken at 39 thousand feet, the cruising altitude of an international flight. There is no curvature at that altitude. The camera must be looking through something.
Quote from: http://thulescientific.com/Lynch%20Curvature%202008.pdf
5. Summary and Conclusions
In view of the agreement between the visual observations, measurements of the photographs, and the theoretical curvatures, it seems well established that the curvature of the Earth is reasonably well understood and can be measured from photographs. The threshold elevation for detecting curvature would seem to be somewhat less than 35,000 ft but not as low as 14,000 ft. Photographically, curvature may be measurable as low as 20,000 ft.

Don't forget the next sentence: "To accurately assess curvature from a photograph, the horizon must be placed precisely in the center of the image, i.e., on the optical axis."

The author then proceeds to show how the curvature can, indeed, be discerned from properly composed photographs of the earth's horizon.

Hey Tom, get back here.

What causes the circle of darkness?

Not barrel distortion. I have corrected the photo for that (assuming it hasn't already been). The updated version is above and I have set it as my avatar so it won't be ignored.

It's either a wide angle lens or barrel distortion.

People often post images claiming that they can see curvature at sea level, when it is really just an effect of the lens.

In those other images from that same balloon, the horizon looks relatively flat.

So is the earth's horizon both flat and curved at 100,000 feet?

No, the horizon's shape changes depending on where it is on the screen because the lens is distorted.

Click here.

Don't be scared, Tom. Click it. Read it.

We know the full specs of the camera. Distortion is negligible and has been reversed. You can even try it yourself for free. And guess what? It's still round. And it's not a circle of light.

You can't bullshit out of it anymore:

- It's not a spotlight.

- It's not lens-distorted.

- It's not from NASA.

You've used up all three lifelines, and " class="bbc_link" target="_blank">you can't walk away. Explain it, Tom.

That doesn't make the fact they spend billions of dollars lying about the shape of the world any less disgusting. Since you seem to think so little of the value of money, I assume you have a few billion around to donate to the society?

I'd bitch about the billions they spend on pointless government agencies they have going, and the trillions we've spent on the war, before I bitched about the billions spent in the name of bettering humanity's understanding of how the universe works.

It doesn't say which lens is being used on that camera.

Look at the low altitude images from Sunset Soar II, for instance.

The camera they're using clearly has a warped lens:

Yes they are. For video. Pay attention:

http://www.mikedeep.com/Project-Soar/Overview/14004205_gKURw

Quote
PRIMARY CAMERA (VIDEO)
GOPRO HERO HD

Rugged fisheye HD video camera


SECONDARY CAMERA (PHOTO)
CANON SD800 IS

Small, light still camera
7.1MP, 4.6-17.3mm (28-105mm equiv.) lens

Come on, Tom. If those two pictures were captured by the same camera, the second one would look a lot more distorted.

But just for fun, let's confirm:



Yep. That one was from the still camera.

The other one, probably since the GOPRO HERO HD is a video camera, doesn't have detailed metadata for single frames; however, the filename is GOPRO002-XL: http://www.mikedeep.com/Project-Soar/Sunset-Soar-II/i-QrLgsrR/0/XL/GOPRO002-XL.jpg

Nice try Tom. ::)

No, the horizon's shape changes depending on where it is on the screen because the lens is distorted.

Tell me, Mr. Bishop, how did you determine that both of those photos were taken at 100,000 feet? Let's go back to the video I had posted originally (which is from the same source as this flickr set):

" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">From the video description:

Quote
The ascent rate was about 800ft/min

So let's look at the metadata again:



These two photos were taken 20 minutes apart, therefore the second photo was at an altitude of about 16,000 feet higher than the first photo.

So, no Tom, the earth's horizon is not both flat and curved at the same altitude, but it does look more curved 16,000 feet higher.

Oh, and by the way Tom, if the barrel distortion of this camera really were as radical as you claim, the horizon in the first photo should be curving upwards as it approaches the bottom of the frame. The fact that it looks straight would have proved that the actual horizon would have appeared convex. Aren't you glad I disproved that?

Nope. I've shown that the PHOTOS are clearly being warped with a fisheye or wideangle lens.

Didn't you see the PHOTOS which I posted which had been warped? This is proof that the PHOTOS are being warped, in contradiction to whatever they claim on the website about only video having a fisheye lens attachment.

I have to admit I don't know much about photopgraphy, but everything I've found concerning the Canon PowerShot SD800 IS indicates that it does have a wideangle lense, just as Tom claims. For example:


Quote from: http://www.dpreview.com/news/2006/9/14/_canon_sd800is
Canon's third new compact today is another image stabilized Ixus/ELPH, this time with a useful (and still fairly rare) 28-105mm wideangle zoom . . . Wide angle 28mm lens with Optical Image Stabilizer


Quote from: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-Digital-Image-Stabilized-Optical/dp/B000HAOVGM
Canon PowerShot SD800 IS 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Image-Stabilized Optical Zoom


Of course I might be wrong, but it seems to me that this is entirely consistent with what Tom said:

While a 28mm lens on a full frame 35mm camera is wide angle and can introduce a degree of barrel distortion, it is not considered a fish-eye lens.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisheye_lens
Quote
The focal lengths of fisheye lenses depend on the film format. For the popular 35 mm film format, typical focal lengths of fisheye lenses are between 8 mm and 10 mm for circular images, and 15–16 mm for full-frame images. For digital cameras using smaller electronic imagers such as 1/4" and 1/3" format CCD or CMOS sensors, the focal length of "miniature" fisheye lenses can be as short as 1 to 2mm.
