Depth of Field.
A normal (rectilinear) lens obeys the law
r = f*tan(theta)
where r is the radial distance of an image point from the optical axis, f is the focal length, and theta is the angle that the incoming ray makes with the optical axis. (This is the "gnomonic" map projection.) Most fisheye lenses instead obey the form
r = 2*f*sin(theta/2)
which maps a given solid angle anywhere in the scene into a constant area on the image. (This is the "Lambert azimuthal equal-area" map projection.)
And here's an entire thread devoted to photography on the moon. Of particular interest is a post by JayUtah.

Which big heavy objects? The Tower is still standing.
The interior is already collapsing. Logic escapes you, doesn't it? |

I have looked at it and terrestrial pictures of the moon. It's a darker spot on the moon. You're just denying it. |

Eh, I have to disagree.
If you're talking about the "shadow" occupying just the lower right corner, that's not a geographical feature of the Moon, and the geometry is wrong for it to be the terminator and dark side. What it looks like is part of the CM, or something inside the CM, which is out of focus because it's in the immediate foreground.

Thank you, dear professor
you don't agree with Valiant Dancer finally.

Well, dumbass, we were talking about two different shadows. The CM window edge I actually gave your intellect credit for recognizing as such. Obviously I was wrong. I'll look for simpler obvious problems with your purported "fake" pictures. |

You are scrambling on glass.
You are arguing that black is white and white black.
You are like believers in God.
A mother says: "my son is dead, God is bad".
A priest tells her: "no, God is loving, God loves you".
In fact God loves all children who suffer from cancer.

Though I agree with your assertion about our government's intentions in Iraq (even a broken clock is right two times a day), you've misspelled Iraq. I usually ignore typos, but since the Q and the K are on opposite ends of the keyboard and since you mis-spelled the same way twice, I will attribute it to your stupidity.
Irak is an alternate spelling of Iraq in many countries, including mine. Fripp, you know bigbrain is Italian, and not a native English speaker. Thus he should be given some leeway in regards to spelling. This is not an indication of stupidity. Please address other aspects of bigbrain's posts, and keep ignoring spelling errors. |
