Ferry from Bornholmslinjen behind horizon, 30x stabilized, March 11th 2019 @MathiasKp

A ferry from Bornholmslinjen disappearing behind the horizon. The original footage was very shaky so I made a stabilized version. I wanted a nice clear timelapse with the ferry center frame. For the best result I had to manual position, scale and rotate each frame.

The ferry is sailing between Rønne (Denmark) and Ystad (Sweden), marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:14.4/centery:55.2/zoom:9

Thanks to Tim O. (ツღ). and Dandypanty for inspiring me to look into stabilize video

$Why is the bottom part of Turning Torso behind water? Two hour timelapse of the view to Turning Torso over 21km, starts at 1:14 . No sign of varying refraction or mirages. Still the bottom part 22m is obscured by water, while observing from 0.8m. Air and water temperature, 2-3°C More weather data can be seen here, https://flic.kr/p/24MHUuK Camera position: http://www.google.com/maps/place/55.65236,12.64811 Height of Turning Torso, https://flic.kr/p/UHaPbQ Daylight photo, https://flic.kr/p/24LsFgM Night photo, 5sec, https://flic.kr/p/24LsEXv Night photo, 10sec, https://flic.kr/p/GtqNua #TurningTorsoFlatEarth$ $A ferry from Bornholmslinjen hiding behind the horizon, March 11th 2019 In this video I show how ships disappear bottom up behind the horizon. I didnt have a tripod with me so the footage is very unstable.

I made a collage with all the needed data to calculate amount obstructed here https://flic.kr/p/2dVCxfR Ferry height estimated based on photographs: 24m Observer height: 4.05m Distance: 21.6km Amount hidden geometrical on globe Earth: 16.3m Amount hidden including std. refraction on globe Earth: 12.9m Amount hidden observed: ~13.3m$
