    The centre of the picture is not the centre of the paper

    A crop translates the image rectangle, so the picture's optical centre leaves the middle of the sheet and the focal length does not move — 81.3 pixels apart at a fifth of the picture, with the horizon at 62.5 per cent of the print. A reader who takes the paper's middle for the picture's stands 2.36 cm out of position, which is 4.9 degrees of the wrong direction.
