The ISS for example is actually really close to the earth, so to get the entire globe in view you have use a fisheye lens, which leads to a distorted picture like the "2012" image in OP.
I believe this is covered somewhere in this vsauce video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxhxL1LzKww

Interesting video. I always thought the fish lens was to blame for people seeing the "curvature" of the earth. One video I saw in particular shows a man at the beach, using his camera to zoom in and out on the water to a far out boat: showing that there is no curvature, but simple a vanishing point at which the eye can no longer see past. It's really begs the question: what shape is the earth? Pear-shaped?
