ABOUT THE PHOTO

This photo is from 3 years ago, i had my first DSLR camera then. Friend of mine produced/directed a play Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett and asked me to take some photos.

I did help you a bit, can you figure out the aperture setting I was using?

RULES & HOW TO PLAY

Each of the guest Photo Stars will be sharing a photo to their blog. For Metadata Monday we would like you to guess the aperture setting that was used to take the photo. For example, you might guess “f/2.8”, or “f/11.” What makes this tricky is that some cameras allow 1/3 increments, and others 1/2.

1. The closest guess (measured in “stops”) will win the prize!
2. Only one guess per person, per post.
3. No editing your guess - you have to commit!
4. All metadata has been stripped from the pictures, so don’t bother looking for the EXIF!
5. We are not required to tell you what kind of camera was used, or what time of day the photo was taken at, or whether filters were involved (this adds to the mystery and the challenge!)
6. For this game you have 2 days to guess (till Wednesday at 6PM EST / 11PM UTC)
7. If only one person gets the correct (or closest) answer they will win the full prize pool
8. If multiple people guess correctly (tie for 1st): 60% to first person / 40% divided between the next 5 people

It looks to me like f5.6. :D

[jpphotography]

This guess has my backing as a photo star :D

[scottshots]

Going to go with good old f8. Interesting and cool shot!

[gabyoraa]

I'm backing @scottshots on this. He makes photography tutorials.

[scottshots]

I'm not sure if that's a good reason to back me lol, but thank you! Not new to photography but tying something different with the tutorial vids and enjoying trying to teach what I can these days....

[bil.prag]

[bil.prag]

yap 2.8 it is. 1sbd sent to you :)

[jabre]

Thank you :)

[gweiss]

I'll try with something different f3.2 :) (i presume you have 1/3 increments)

[caseygrimley]

My photostar intuition is telling me to back @gweiss at f/3.2.

[bil.prag]

you won, kinda :) it is f2.8 and @jabre got it right, but as he was sitting in the audience of the play and we did bunch of photo project together he had an unfair advantage :) i decided to give 1SBD to each

[skiesandsports]
