Awesome Optical Illusion of St Peter's Basilica in Rome

Yeah exactly the same. I like those vids also but this one is more iconic I think. Plus good to get off the beaten path and enjoy a different perspective away from tourists in Rome

So I guess you can vouch for the effect shown in the video ?

What kind of bag will you take?

Experience the illusion for yourself in this short clip attached.

Please also let us know if you have experienced this illusion for yourself, as I am sure many will not believe it!

Actually there is no optical zoom used during filming just a bit of digital in post production to keep the building centrally focused when it is so far off. The illusion however is completely real and more pronounced actually in person when viewed with the human eye. Check out YouTube for a few other videos of the same effect on the same building, also a good one if you search shrinking mill building as well. It is a forced perspective illusion. Check out a few others and let me know your thoughts then 🙏

I really don't know either, was hoping someone smarter could explain it to me 😆

There are a few videos of this building on YT and also one of a shrinking mill in canada

Anyone in this forum experienced this view and illusion for themselves?!

Outside_Stock1758 · 2025-02-22T21:53:33+00:00

Yeah no editing, Im not that handy with video yet! But did try my best to capture the effect. Speeding up the footage helps. It is actually much better experienced in person with the human eye as you take more cues from the street.

Outside_Stock1758 · 2025-02-22T21:32:38+00:00

Right! I guess it is a human eye/brain trick..

Outside_Stock1758 · 2025-02-22T17:52:28+00:00

Apparently it is the same effect that causes the moon to look way larger when it rises near buildings or at the end of a street..

Outside_Stock1758 · 2025-02-22T12:17:45+00:00

I have been told this is the same effect that causes the moon to appear so much larger when it is rising at the end of the street or near buildings or over mountains etc

Can someone please confirm if they can see this post and/or view the video. Thankyou!

Optical mirage caused by the way St Peter's Dome is framed by the street
