ABOUT THE PHOTO
This is a section of the Shoshonee falls in Idaho
THE PRIZE
- PUBLIC PRIZE POOL = 1 SBD / each Photo Game Star -- Total Prize Pot = 5 SBD
- If only one person gets the correct (or closest) answer they will win full prize pool
- If multiple people guess correctly (tie for 1st): 60% to first person / 40% divided between the next 5 people
RULES FOR PUBLIC
- For this game you have 2 days to guess (Wednesday 6PM EST / 11PM UTC)
- The closest guess will win the prize!
- Only one guess per person, per post.
- No editing your guess - you have to commit!
- All metadata has been stripped from the pictures, so don’t bother looking for the EXIF!
- 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!).
- Check here or @photogames for results

My guess is 10 seconds.
I guess 1 second
I have a feeling you may be correct...I'll back your guess!
I'll guess 6 seconds.
the left part seems more blurred, mmmmm difficult but I'm going to say 1/1.3 seconds
I guess 1/4s.
Not so silky; I guess 0.4 seconds.
wait what is that... 1/25th?
Or is that 4/10 or 1/2.5
Basically i need this as a typical fraction... because I'm not sure how to change normal stop watch time into shutter speed. haha
Oh i went online to search how to convert stop watch type time into shutter speed. Seem
"Shutter speeds are measured in seconds, or fractions of a second. For example, a shutter speed of 1/100 means 1/100th of a second, or 0.01 seconds. This is also known as the "exposure time", because it's the amount of time the sensor is exposed to light."
So by that it seems like it's 4/10 which is 1/2.5
Is that how you understand it??
0.3 seconds
OK the answer was 1/3 which if I do a google search = .333333
Regardless you're still the closest. Next time I'll know how to convert this or i'll tell people to just use fractions. haha
So that makes you the winner!!
Haha, awesome! :) I appreciate you trying to get clarity on this!
What does this mean in shutter speed?
err.. 0.3 sec?
Because 3/10th is not a shutter speed that's on a normal camera. Digital cameras could probably do that like cell phones.
Is 3/10th what you meant by that. Because I looked it up on google and people say .3 = 3/10th
I see.. Thanks for looking it up! I was going to do that too, because you made me curious.. I have several photos of waterfalls where the photo info says 0.3.. so I went with that. :)
I understand it to mean like 1/3 of a second, no? Which sounds right to me
shows like this:
My guess: 1/5 (half) seconds.
The physics teacher in me says 2.5 seconds
i'll go with the physics teacher this time even if my instincts are for double that time
Mmmm 3 seconds ^^
Ditto, because 3 is the magic number
1/2sec
So So very close... just 2/3 stop from the answer and 1/3 stop away from the win.
so who won? :)
was about to announce but realized I didn't know how to translate stop watch type time into shutter speed. Realizing some people are used to cameras that don't even have a shutter. So i learned how to do the math and now i'll post it.
1 second
4 seconds. But I'm feeling like this one may be a trick... Low light, or neutral density, or maybe even a polarizer.... Hmmm
1/30 second
Same here! 1/30! I would even say it is a handheld shot!
Sneaky Ninja Attack! You have been defended with a 12.53% vote... I was summoned by @jarvie! I have done their bidding and now I will vanish...Whoosh
The results of all our pics will be on @photogames
I'll also reveal here as soon as I ask some people what their numbers mean in fractions
My thoughts on this and your guesses.
Keep an eye out for how "silky" the water looks. This is also a matter of how fast the water is running.
