Long distance photography
Script error: No such module "AfC submission catcheck".
Long distance photography is a type of digital photography that covers the object to be seen through the atmosphere at extreme distances. This type of photography determines the great distance at which the given object can be seen under clear skies against the background sky.[1] The theoretical maximum range of about 330 km is defined by Rayleigh scattering conditions.[2][page needed]
The practical maximum range depends on several factors:[1]
- line of sight geometry
- refraction
- scattering and absorption the light in the atmosphere
- sensitivity of the human eye
Types[edit]
- Ground-based – whose primary criterion is capturing the view between two objects on the ground or firmly related to the ground. Within this group, we can distinguish also the so-called Long distance observations, featuring restricted criteria like the mandatory presence of an observer exactly in the place in which the given view is obtained.
- Aerial – covering the objects captured from the most extremal distance in the atmosphere regardless of the placement of the camera
