“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
ABOUT THIS PICTURE - SMALL HINT OR BACKGROUND
I'll start off the games with a photo of @caseygrimley on Antelope Island. What focal length did I use to create this photo?
THE PICTURE
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.

I think that might be 120mm. Looks like a shot with telephoto lens, but not in 150-200mm range. And as You use 24-120 alot, I assume it could be 120mm :)
Good rationale! :)
My bet is 70mm :) As I just commented on @jarvie's post, thanks for hosting this competition!
I'm backing this one. I remember having to hold still for maybe a second or two, because of the slower shutter speed, which was likely caused by stopping down to f/8, and f/8 would be about right for sharpness throughout.
You're sciencing too much.
@jpphotography, thanks for playing!! :D
50mm focal length..???
So uncertain??? ... I'm thinking that's part of your strategy.
Well I'll think about jumping in with you but this is @derekkind I think he's trickier than that.
Or maybe he just wants us to think he's tricky!! #MindGames
Or maybe I want you to think I think I'm being tricky....did you think about that?
Haha, I look like sasquatch walking through your sunset! :D
I was really impressed with your pose - it looks like you don't have a lot of traction to balance with!
I'm trying to think back on this trip to remember what lenses you had and were using...
I think I was using that 14mm a lot...
I do not doubt it...but I know your game. 😉
Oh....but DO you?
105mm. I was thinking 200 at first but it looks a little wider.
For my first guess in our side game I'm going with YOUR GUESS ... don't fail me @scottshots!!
I have my reasons one being I didn't want the other guys to jump on this one first. haha
Haha! I'll try not to... I don't know what lenses he's rockin' but I'm thinking maxed out on a 24-105...
I do use the 24-120 a lot!
So you're telling me there's a chance...
The 24-120 is my most versatile lens. I use it most of the time.
I hear you. My go to lens is a 24-105. But the 16-35 get a lot of use too.
I was going to go with 35mm like @yumyumseth, but he's probably wrong.
oooh, playing the price is right strategy!
You got it, Bob.
gunna go with 30mm.... :)
Is that your final answer?
Sounds cool! Thank you all for coming up with such fun ideas! Love the creativity.
My guess is 85mm.
Interesting. Very interesting. :)
I am going with 150mm . No aspect distortion between the size of the arms and legs so seems like a short depth of field flattened perspective telephoto shot to me.
I like how you rationialize it!
70mm focal length
I wonder...
35mm!
Give or take 35mm...
Well I'll give you a hint: it's not 0mm!
This is 85mm, obviously.
my guess is 35 mm on a full frame sensor
I would say it's 85 mm focal length.
Interesting....
Gonna round it off at a neat 100mm.
Uh oh! They allow gifs in Steemit!? Haha, I can't tell if that is a boon or a curse. ;)
With great power comes great responsibility.
35mm Focal Length
35mm seems to be the majority vote...
" 33mm "
