Waves


Of course, without a good reference, the unaltered camera can make you believe anything:
 
How big are these waves?????
 


How about these?????
 

 
How can you tell???


The top picture has the horizon for a reference. The waves are 2-3 foot ocean waves.  The bottom picture has no reference.  These are actually six inch tall river wavelets.
 
Remember, accurate judgement requires a good visual reference (an object of known size used to scale the rest of the objects in the photo).
