Show As Fishes See Us. It has occurred to one scientist to try to represent by underwater photography pho-tography the appearance of the out-of-water world as viewed by the eyes of fish. The results are said to be most curious, depending upon the refraction of light by water. For example, with a box filled with water, having a photographic plate at the back and a pinhole covered with glass at the front, the situation of a fish looking out of an aquarium Is imitated. imi-tated. With such an arrangement it has been found that all three sides and the complete celling and floor of a room could be photographed at one view. Placed at a point where three streets meet at a right angle, It gave a view looking down all three streets, including the ground up to the base ol the tripod and the sky from the horizon hori-zon to the zenith. From a balloon such a camera would photograph the whole visible surface of the earth out to the horizon on all sides. |
