Hey ya'll... I'm working on a video that discusses some different ideas about how perspective works, and how we can do simple experiments to figure out which ideas are correct and which are not.
I'd like to ask willing participants to take a photograph and record some measurements from it. I have a little questionnaire to ask what your ideas about perspective were before and after doing the experiment. The video would ideally focus on whether or not people who started off with different ideas about perspective arrive at the same conclusions after testing it for themselves.
You can participate completely anonymously if you want.
I would like to avoid any debate over which ideas are correct and which are not. I would prefer that nobody posts their answers here until everyone has had a chance to do the measurements on their own. The idea is to explore whether doing the empirical investigation on your own is a better way to find the truth (as opposed to reading about it online).
Anyone interested/willing to participate?
Here are some questions for before you take your measurements:

If you'd like to arrange an alternative way to share your answers, feel free to post here telling me how to get them.
The goal of this experiment is to answer the question, "How far away is the vanishing point?" If you'd like to come up with a different experiment to answer that question, that would be great too! All ideas welcome.
(I had posted this on the other forum, but I have few responses so far. So I'm re-posting here hoping to get a few more.)
