Mick West | Catalina Island Being Obscured by the Curve, from Huntington Beach @MickWest | Uploaded May 2019 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
While I was attending a Flat Earth convention I was given five photos of Catalina Island taken from Huntington Beach, about 32 miles away. The photographer (Nathan Gonzales) asked me to explain what he was seeing, so when I got back I made this video.
The photos show about what is expected, around 400 to 500 feet of the island is hidden behind the curve of the Earth.
Nathan used a full-spectrum Nikon P900, which improves the contrast. But I'd recommend adding a 760nm filter for similar photos, as the results are much clearer
Here's the Google Earth setup I used in the video.
