Curvature

Posted in Photoblog on 2009-08-09 03:26:34 by Rob Porter.

Something interesting observed while playing with the camera - if you take slanted-angle photos of bodies of a large body of water, the curvature of the earth is almost obvious.

It's kinda neat how the human brain works sometimes. We look at a horizon, and see a straight line. We look at the same horizon, wit it tilted a bit, and we see the curvature. Who knows what purpose that might serve, but it is fun to discover accidentally.
