Flat Earth Theory / Re: The Horizon is Always at Eye Level

It seems that Tom Bishop has just one remaining exception with this experiment: the camera is not vertically centered.

Tom, if the camera is vertically centered and you can count the same number of pixels above and below the line would you accept this as a valid experiment and acknowledge the results?

If he says yes, then I'll just crop the photos so that the view line is always in the exact center.

I'd rather he understand why the camera pitch doesn't change the level alignment. I think, maybe, he's thinking in terms of points along a line, whereas this is a planar problem. I don't know.

I doubt cropping will satisfy Tom's objections.

I like your idea of angling the camera up and down while still keeping the view of water leveled, this will necessarily raise and lower the camera height.  This will resolve an concerns about how it will affect the water level and horizon relationship.  In practice rather than in theory.
