‘Flat Earth Busted’: World’s First U2 Photo Shoot at the EDGE OF SPACE (above 70,000 ft.)!

On By Jeff FenskeIn Flat Earth Deception Busted, Fun–or–AMAZING Stuff!, Photography

In comments, flat earthers again try to claim that a fisheye lens was used to cause the curvature, but none were fish-eye lenses.

My Comment — how we know for sure it’s NOT A FISHEYE:  At 20:24, the earth’s surface is near the middle of the lens, where fisheye lenses do NOT bend lines. All of the aircraft’s lines are straight, including the lower-right corner, where a fisheye lens would have radically bent them. Also, the earth’s horizon’s curvature is the same no matter where its placed in the frame. There are many different placements of the horizon in this video.

2:50 The plane flew above above 70,000 feet.

16:00 What it was like when Blair saw the curvature of the Earth.

– –

Eight years of discussions. Six months of training. Two days of final preparations. Much was required to give photographer Blair Bunting two hours at the edge of Earth’s atmosphere to conduct the first-ever photo shoot at near-space where he captured images that have never been made before and will likely never be made again. Join us on this incredible adventure!

Canon lens TEARDOWN! What’s INSIDE a new lens?

On By Jeff FenskeIn Fun–or–AMAZING Stuff!, Photography

Canon is now using rectangular plastic elements in their mirrorless cameras. Glass has always had the greatest light transmission.

Amazing technology and video, but so sad to see them stuck in the 3:2 aspect ratio, regular sized sensor. I’m moving on to medium format Fuji, where more of the image circle of Canon’s great EF lenses can be used in any aspect ratio.

They should have developed a full frame, oversized, multi-aspect ratio sensor, or at least Panasonic should have. This is sad to see.

I’m telling the truth, friends…TWO PRINTS. And you know what’s even better? One of them is a pigment print on Hahnemühle photo rag paper while the other is a c-type print on Fuji Crystal Archive Pearl Paper. So we’re going to look at how these bad boys compare. Two different printing technologies, two different papers, one 6×17 negative on Kodak Portra 160 film. Let’s dive into it.

I Did Caffeine Analysis: The Unexpected Truth!

Sitting longer than about 2 minutes in a French press didn’t extract more caffeine, surprisingly.

Dark roast had higher caffeine per ounce, but not a huge difference.

‘Wairarapa Nights’ — Milky Way galaxy timelapse compilation!

On By Jeff FenskeIn Fun–or–AMAZING Stuff!, Photography

Stunning! God’s universe — our tiny part: 200 billion stars in our own Milky Way galaxy (our sun is an average sized star)!

Imagine: there are at least 200 billion galaxies, averaging 100 billion stars each. We’re still finding more as our orbiting telescopes get more powerful!

“It all happened by chance from nothing, by no Designer?” Yeah, sure. God’s universe is AMAZING!!!

The Wairarapa on the North Island of New Zealand, is set to become the largest dark sky reserve in the world. I’ve been photographing the night sky in the Wairarapa for over a decade now, and this is a collection of my favorite moments under those starry skies.

Alaskan Town That Lives In One Building – Isolated From The World 🇺🇸

On By Jeff FenskeIn Alaska, Fun–or–AMAZING Stuff!

Whittier is a fascinating and gorgeous town 60 miles from Anchorage on Prince William Sound, accessible by tunnel and ocean only. I’ve been there many times, and have thoroughly checked out his WWII building where almost everyone lives, because it’s literally bombproof tough.

I once experienced 80 mph winds in winter there. Parked cars were visibly moving back and forth. Whittier gets a lot of wind because of the location between Prince William Sound and Turnagain Arm, where the wind funnels through. When it’s calm in summer, it’s a gem. I photographed a nearby waterfall, and made a big print, when I was still doing photography.

Video says:

1.5 hours southwest of Anchorage is a town accessed only through a tunnel under a glacier or by sea. A place where almost all of the residents live in one self-contained building with a school, store, church, USPS, and everything it takes to live under one roof. Join me as we meet some of the interesting people who live there.

FUN STUFF: ALASKA BY TRAIN — NORTH from Anchorage!

On By Jeff FenskeIn Alaska, Fun–or–AMAZING Stuff!, Personal

I’ve only taken the short train ride to Whittier from Portage, but Mom and her sister took this, and I’ve driven everywhere by road, except the dirt road to the north slope.

The trip south of Anchorage to Seward may be even more scenic, along the Turnagain Arm especially, but it’s driveable, as the road parallels the train, mostly.

The outside viewing platform is indeed super nice, and allows photographing without having to shoot through windows.

Great adventures I always recommend are fllying from Talkeetna to Mt. Denali above the Ruth glacier for about 50 miles, flanked by mountains on both sides, and maybe landing on the glacier. Ruth glacier looks like a giant, 1-mile wide, white freeway with many crevasses below us.

The pilot cranks down the skis by hand after leaving the runway in Talkeetna to land on the glacier.

Flying around the mountain in addition is also amazing, which hardly anyone does. Few realize this shows the highest, unobstructed vertical drop in the world; though, at an angle, because Denali doesn’t have foothills, like Mt. Everest, etc.. I’ve only done that once.

Another amazing adventure is the 26 Glacier Tour out of Whittier, south of Anchorage. Pristine and highly recommended!

Cheyenne Bodie Speech to the Senate (1962)

On By Jeff FenskeIn Fun–or–AMAZING Stuff!, People, Personal

I missed seeing ‘Cheyenne’ as a child, since I was a bit too young, but have watched many episodes recently. Many inspire virtue; are pure gold, with a few being let downs. It was a different day back then on television.

“Cheyenne is an American Western television series of 108 black-and-white episodes broadcast on ABC from 1955 to 1962. The show was the first hour-long Western, and was the first hour-long dramatic series of any kind, with continuing characters, to last more than one season.”

#helicopter #Matterhorn

►Watch the full six-part series on Red Bull TV on October 17th: http://win.gs/TheHornSeries

A new, original, six-part series from Red Bull TV follows the everyday heroes behind the best aerial search and rescue team in the world: Air Zermatt.

The Horn tells the story of the people who are dedicated to saving the lives of those who take on The Matterhorn. The pilots, doctors, paramedics and mountain guides of Air Zermatt are a band of brothers pushing innovation within alpine search and rescue to unimaginable levels, while placing the needs of others above their own.  Where most fear to venture, they soar.  In the thin air of the Swiss Alps, we can more clearly see the depth and breadth of the human experience, and through these uniquely good people, heroes are revealed.

This immersive and cinematic series provides unprecedented views of even the most remote rescues through the eyes of the team members themselves, as lives are saved – and lost – on the mountain.  Giving us a glimpse of the 1,500 rescues the team performs every year, The Horn showcases the very best of humanity and the ultimate race against the clock.

Dr. John Campbell: Fetal Development Stages Explained

Dr. John Campbell carefully tells the truth about babies’ stages of development inside the mother’s womb.

Campbell is one of the few doctors who told the truth about high enough vitamin D for Covid, and is dismayed that governments especially still aren’t telling the people since the data is irrefutable. He calls this lie of omission “criminal.”

Footage of Sodom & Gomorrah – Ron Wyatt’s wife tells the story

On By Jeff FenskeIn Fun–or–AMAZING Stuff!, Homosexuality, Real History, SpiritualLeave a comment

About 30 years ago, I saw this from on top of Masada, and asked others what this city ruin was. No one knew. It definitely looked like the ruin of a city to me.

– –

9:10 Gomorrah is below Masada, next to the Dead Sea. Sodom is at the southern end of the Dead Sea.

14:35 Sulfur balls, brimstone that landed on the city — millions that rained down, burning even rock. Tested to be 96% sulfur plus phosphorus.

They even found parts of human skeletons, burnt and gnarled.

31:00 Drone footage from below Masada

34:35 Thermal ionization from the extreme heat — “exceeding 2,000°F” (Ron @ min. 53:40)

41:05 The ziggurat

42:50 The sphynx with Masada behind and above it

54:00 Regarding all of this ash, Ron quotes part of this text from Malachi 4:

“For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace; and all the proud, and all who work wickedness, will be stubble; and the day that comes will burn them up,” says Yahweh of Armies, “that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But to you who fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings. You will go out, and leap like calves of the stall. 3 You shall tread down the wicked; for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make,” says Yahweh of Armies.
