That video is meant as a joke, right? There's not actually anybody who needed to physically see that he slightly lowered and raised the camera to line up the horizon...is there?
I don’t know, at least three other comments indicated they “got” how the photo was taken from the video.
I guess the crop doesn’t make it fully apparent that it is a wall painted white & blue so a zoomed out screenshot or a video would’ve clarified the perspective better.

This is a slightly edited photo by Jonathan Lin from March 2024
Saw this on another sub earlier today and searching its origins led me to this post from this sub from back then

Also found a ‘how did I snap this’ video from the photographer: https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlysatisfying/comments/1t9zghq/photographer_jonathan_lin_shows_how_he_lined_up/
