Do you see 44 feet of earth curvature ?

Zooming miles (14.6 km) to vantage bridge. This video is part of a longer video, We see vehicles on the bridge and a few boats in the water. The center of the camera lens is less than 7 inches (18 cm) above the water. According to the “earth curve calculator“ there should be more than 44 feet of “target hidden height“ over miles (with an eye height of 7 inches). The usual maximum elevation of wanapum lake is 574 feet above sea level. The maximum height of the “earth fill road“ is 615 feet elevation. The earth fill road connects with the low end of vantage bridge. If there really was 44 feet of “target hidden height“ then we shouldn’t see so much of the “earth fill road“ and we definitely shouldn’t be seeing any of the “riprap rock“ down near the water. We also shouldn’t be seeing the wake of these boats and probably shouldn’t see the boats at all. We may have been lied to concerning the shape and/or size of the earth. Here is a link to an earth-curve calculator The camera is a Nikon Coolpix P900. The camera was at full optical zoom for this video. Viewing location is near sunland boat launch.
