Blurry, but that zoom is cool! It's a lot easier to see England from France than vice versa because the English cliffs are bigger and whiter, and they catch the sun better because they face south.
When I was in Dover back in August I could actually see France. I thought it was an amazing view. Although it just looked like land. The view is definitely better looking at England from France.
Amazing footage, thank you. Just recently I crossed the Channel there as well and also had a very clear view. Can you specify your viewer height and location more clearly? Seems directly at the beach?
@Wombel ́s Studio you wanna tell me he's at sea level? He's clearly standing above and also he has a certain height himself. Assuming he's not a midget you can calculate 1,8m plus whatever height he is standing above sea level. I think 1,2m is fair here since there's an easily visible difference.
@@thad1296 beginning of video suggests about 6 feet above sea level. At 25 miles distance, 322 feet of the cliffs should be hidden. Height of the White Cliffs is 350 feet. Far more appears to be visible :o
@@thad1296 should be 53 metre obscured by curvature across 20 miles and 3m above sea, 43m at 6m above sea, 34m at 10m above sea yet you can see them all in their entirety lol, nice try buddy but you get the flat picture really, it just really hurts your head 😉
It is. But the distance is short enough. Thus you can see the other side of the strait. Fun fact: at one point, an electrical telegraph line was built over the strait. However, fishermen stole it to sell the metal.
Impossible to back engineer due to missing information (like location, elevation, weather or even observation date). Here's a couple of factors: - The distance between the surroundings of Calais and the whit cliffs can range from 30km to 40km depending on the actual location. - The elevation can easily be misjudged by a couple of meters. - The line of sight is not a straight line. There's a mirage line at the bottom part of the cliffs.
@@destroyerinazuma96 Nope. You can see it's tip to base from 6 feet above sea level. If there was curvature you would only be able to see about 50 feet of the Cliff tip from that distance. Next time you go there on a clear day. use a telephoto lens and zoom in, you can see the base of the cliffs. There is no earth curvature, something that should be physically present if the earth were a ball.
@@curious1585 That mirage effect is called an inferior mirage. It is a small inverted band between the sea and the shore, it is not earth curve and the apparent horizon you see is not at true eye level. If a boat were to go off into the distance towards the band, it would eventually disappear unless it had a point high enough to breach the top of the band which is at your true eye level. This part of the boat breaching the band would also appear as an inverted reflection in the band. Pause at 0:30. Those shiny objects one on top and one below. Halfway in between them is where your eye level is and the true horizon. This where the top of the inferior mirage band begins. Now pan to the right and you can see a ship, look at the ships hull, notice how it juts forwards then abruptly changes direction? The part where it juts forwards lines up perfectly with the area between the 2 shiny objects on the left. Now look down and the part where the sea appears to begin is the base of the mirage band.
@@helicoptersrkool not sure why you dedicated the answer to me. Pointed out the inferior mirage aswell and yes the mirage line should meet at eyelevel. So?
I haven't been to Dover and Calais since I was a child. I remember seeing across the channel before the ferry ride. I miss going to France
I MISS U TOO, COME BACK

The good old White Cliffs of Dover. Did you see any blue birds flying over by any chance, pardon the pun?!

Nice capture I have also filmed Calais from dover
NIce zoom mate :)
Belle vue 😊
Nice. Is your picture a pelvis bone? 🍖
Ive the same camera but im shooting from dover
Camera location? Height?
He is atop the cliff at Cap Gris-Nez in the Calais region. Height: 102 feet.
Isn't Calare in Eire?
Yes
This is Calais
how far is that?
About 30 miles
@@codec9431 20
50km
30km
At the narrowest point it is just 21 miles distance.
Ca. 35 Km
Amazing it should invisible due to the geometric earth curve calculator
No it should not. Not when you stand 3 meters above sea level.
The video is not taken at sea level dipshit

Earth is flat

He is a con artist.
Am I missing something here i thought the earth was curved what the hell🤔??
