156) “People also
claim to see curvature in Go Pro or other high altitude camera footage of the
horizon. While it is true that the horizon often appears convex in such
footage, it just as often appears concave or flat depending on the
tilt/movement of the camera. The effect is simply a distortion due to
wide-angle lenses. In lens-corrected and footage taken without wide-angle
technology, all amateur high-altitude horizon shots appear perfectly flat.”
Clearly, it wasn't called `200 unique reasons'.
Another
one about camera lenses. Once more, I must point out that there certainly
are amateur photographs
of the curvature. As you can see in the images on SpacePhoto's Tumblr, the
curvature there is visible (at ~22.5 miles - certainly could be visible, according
to our calculations). The team doesn't detail it, but their description seems
certainly educated enough to have used a lens corrector.
Another excellent example is a amateur built rocket with a non-"fish eye" lens.
It's quite
clear, isn't it? Around 1:30 shows the curvature very clearly. I must emphasise
that this is not a fisheye lens.
