I have some 8 times binoculars and an olympus sz-14 with X24 optical zoom. So I already have some equipment i can use to make a video of objects sinking below the horizon across a bay. I am fairly confidant i can find some interesting highly recognisable objects that can be shown firstly from close up and then from across the water. If it is necessary I can connect the binocs to the camera as shown here. I have just tried this and it works on my gear at full magnification. I am near the sea so i just have to get around to doing it.  |

The first difficulty i have encountered is the number of islands where i live which prevent me from easily seeing helsinki or a recognisable object from even the small distance of 6km. From 6km I lose less than 3m. I would need therefore the ability to clearly see a person from 6km to show anything useful! Map of helsinki coastPlus I definately need a tripod. Resting on things and lining the camera up is very difficult. Most likely I will need the binoculars and camera linked together |

This project is proving to be harder than i thought. I might have to upgrade to get the results wanted   |

aliveandkicking, That sounds interesting. You are trying to prove a round world. I trust in your honesty that if your findings come out flat you will tell us...  If you believe in a round world, do you believe necessarily that round world must be spinning and orbiting, or do you believe that it could be a stationary round world?

If you believe in a round world, do you believe necessarily that round world must be spinning and orbiting, or do you believe that it could be a stationary round world? I promise if I find my first video pictures show no visible curvature I will post the video results as they are. A stationary round world sounds unlikely to me because you would have to have something to keep it still. So it is likely it would be drifting and slowly rotating one way or another |
