RE: Flakfortet, Copenhagen (guest harbour, fortress island)
Man I was checking the map after reading your post. The distance between Flakfortet and Saltholm is four kilometers. With the highest point on the Saltholm island being only 3 meters, its no wonder that camera was barely able to catch any pixels of it. Although the calculations show that a height of 3 meters can be visible from more than 5 kilometers :-)
The old military structures makes the island looks like a place to explore. Great pictures, all of them!
The photos were taken from the top of Flakfortet, not from the sea level, that probably makes a great difference on what one can see :)
I did indeed think of it, some flat-earthers claim that one can see things at any distance if having sufficient amounts of zoom. Flakfortet is quite ideal for experimenting with this as it's possible to set up camera on a tripod both quite close to the sea level as well as on the top of the fortress, and then compare photos of Copenhagen and Malmö.
The even surface of the calm seas does provide a pretty good area to experiment on. The islands are close enough to be visible by the naked eye so one can do some rough calculations to get few preliminary results.
Did that, but the flat-earther claimed I would be able to see the "hidden" parts if I had used a camera with 60x zoom instead of a 6x50 binocular. To utilize 60x zoom, a steady triod and absolutely no waves seems to be a must.
