At £8.25 including delivery on eBay, I was half expecting this to be a fake!

I think an excellent experiment would be to take a pic on a clear day with a better camera, with the horizon as centred as possible. Then to do the same again, with the camera upside down. Then to...

Yes, this is well understood. I wonder if the curvature of the horizon in the image is a product of over-correction by the phone's camera app? That at least would make sense.

I'm trying not to, but: wide angle lenses distort in a particular way that wouldn't cause the upward curvature of a line below the centre of the image. I'm sorry if you haven't understood that.

Again: no, I didn't.

So: here's a graphic that represents what barrel distortion does to an image:

In this case, the line of the horizon -...

I didn't. But the wide angle distortion described there would act against the curve visible in the image, it wouldn't enhance it.

This is a photo that I took in Wales in March, on the Pembrokeshire coastal path.

The camera (actually a Samsung phone) was only about 20 - 30 metres...

I'd forgotten that 1987 entry, ten years after Ca Plane Pour Moi. I'd say it was Swedish.

True. But it's not a French punk song, and I don't think Plastic ever appeared in a Eurovision Song Contest in any case.

This is my favourite Eurovision tune ever. The winner in 1975. Perfect pop.

I remember that as a single, but I don't think it was a Eurovision entry. Also, he's Belgian.

It does have limitations, but for some applications it's very convenient. Every medium of communication has a limitation of some sort. Telephoning someone has the limitation that they have to be...

Not sure on this but I think that means it's made it to their phone, not necessarily that they've seen it.

Some fantastic photos in this thread, thank-you. This one isn't in that category unfortunately, and the phone made it a lot more obvious than it was to the naked eye. Too much light pollution to the...

Some time in the late '90s, I bought a JLC in Bond Street on a whim. Hadn't been thinking about buying a watch at all. I think it was £1400 (it's since been on Sales Corner at least once for...

Nice sunny day, 68 miles on a bike wth me legs out.

Dafter than a Ploprof.

As the theory goes - the Big Bang wasn't really an explosion, but in any case the conditions prevailing at the very beginning of time, before even atoms existed were so different that it's not...

And US English spelling. No doubt at all these reviews were written by an AI product.

Not everything, fortunately :)

I often do these temporal mental calculations. Here's one: the Band Aid single was recorded closer to the end of WW2 than the present day. EDIT: someone had beaten me to this, sorry.

I've got one. Brilliant value for money (about £100 in my case if I remember correctly).
