When viewed from one of the other cameras, however, they look very weird indeed.

* EdgarAllanPoe's short story ''The Sphinx'' is about a man seeing a terrifying monster walking on the hill outside the cottage where he's staying. It turns out at the end that it was an insect crawling on a spider web very close to his face.
* GKChesterton references the trope in the FatherBrown story "The Song of the Flying Fish": "A thing can sometimes be too close to be seen, as, for instance, a man cannot see himself. There was a man who had a fly in his eye when he looked through the telescope, and he discovered that there was a most incredible dragon in the moon."
* A short story about a monstrous dragon on a distant mountain. But in actuality, the dragon always ''appeared'' to be the same size no matter how far away the viewer was, so when the protagonist climbed the mountain he found the dragon to be much smaller.
