Curvature

Written by 
Curvature

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.

Life Stream About this Site Bio Links

This site exists as a hub for sharing my photos, designs, and writings.

Most photos are taken with my "point-and-shoot" Canon Powershot, and a few of the newer ones are taken with an iPhone4. Some photos in the "articles" are not mine, where this is the case credit is given in caption.
