in #photogames7 years ago (edited)

“Welcome to Metadata Monday”

GUESS THE METADATA : FOCAL LENGTH

  • Guess the exact mm / focal length that this picture was taken at.
  • All the exif metadata has been stripped from the pictures.
  • We are using the Original stated focal length regardless of the type of camera or sensor size.
    Example. “24mm focal length”
  • We are not required to tell you what kind of camera it was taken with.

Look for posts by @jarvie @derekkind @caseygrimley @brandongarrett and @jakegarn
edit: And also @aweber this week


ABOUT THIS PICTURE - SMALL HINT OR BACKGROUND
I'm taunting the other competitors because 4 of us were here that day so let's see if they even know what kinds of lenses I have or had then.

THE PICTURE


Week 1 - Season 1 - Day 1
Guess the focal length

PUBLIC PRIZE POOL = 1 SBD / each

  • From Each Post of a Photo Game Star
  • Prizes will go up in future weeks
    Vote and Follow and it will happen faster

TIME LIMIT

  • For this game you have 2 days to guess
  • Winners announced on Wednesday’s game (usually morning)

RULES FOR PUBLIC

  • If only one person gets the correct (Closest) focal length they will win full prize pool
  • If multiple people guess correctly (tie for 1st): 50% to first person / 50% divided between the next 5 people
  • One guess per comment
  • Two guesses per blog post
  • No editing your guess

RULES FOR PHOTO GAME STARS (This weeks posting players)

  • The “Photo Game Star” must piggyback on YOUR guesses (They can’t give hints just say who’s guess they join)
  • As with all Photo Games the weekly “Stars” are not part of the monetary awards
  • They get two guesses
  • Only one winner per post
  • 1 Photo Game point given out per post.
  • Points are added to their total for the week

STRATEGY TIP

  • We enjoy strategy as long as it creates a fun and non-destructive environment
  • Example: Perfectly acceptable to give a super compelling and yet BS reason for your first guess and then give a low key guess at the end if you are certain of the answer. Just remember if someone beats you to the answer they get the bigger prize. _Who will you trust… your intuition?
  • You can also flaunt your answer if you know you’re right and you are first … and then people will never know if you’re throwing people off your track or you really did get it right.

You know, Jarvie, there's a good chance I have pictures of you taking this picture, so all I have to do is zoom in...... muahahaha!

But..how much do you have to zoom in by? I'm guessing by 8.3x. Do I win anything?

That's next week!

I say 76mm :-)

Awesome initiative! I'm really liking this idea(s).

Haha yeah today's game is pretty wide open... and i love that some of the games will require a lot of guess work. But there are still hints to educate the guesses i suppose.

WIDE OPEN? Does that refer to the f/stop or focal length? You're killing me! ;) Just kidding, I'm still confident I'm definitely right.

You're in for playing on the other side of the post in the future right?
If so add me on FB
https://www.facebook.com/jarvie

That way we can let you know what week to join in.

You know it. Just sent the request.

Glad you'll be able to join us this week and be one of the POSTING players. (Last moment addition)

Obviously this is 100mm on the button! Next.

You might be right, or you might be wrong. That's a 50/50 chance, so I'll take it. I'm picking your 250mm!

I will guess 24.. assuming there is some road close to where the photo was taken :P

I have a pretty solid idea of what lens you were using. 😊

It has a 600 in it. ;)

150-600mm you say?

I'm going to guess 105mm on this one!

Oh! I see we get to guess on more than one image. I'm going with 90mm because of the nearly 90 degree angle of the peak in the distance. Makes sense to me...

Hahahahaha I'm really gonna get a kick out of the "science" in these posts

Your logic is sound. :P

Thank you sir

Oh, and beautiful photo!
