“Metadata Monday (or early Tuesday since I joined late)”
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 @jakegarn and @aweber or use #PhotoGames
ABOUT THIS PICTURE - SMALL HINT OR BACKGROUND
This picture was taken in Rocky Mountain National Park, and if you look really closely you can see my lens in the reflection of elk's eye.
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.

My first guess hasn't been said yet but 200mm is my other guess so I'm gonna back this guess!
Everyone traveling to a place that has wildlife usually has or rents a 70-200 or has a 55-200 kit lens.
Then they max it out trying to get in as close as they can.
Also the compression of the mountain towards the foreground has me on the high end. Also 300mm guesses were taken. haha

You guys!!! You're making this platform so goddamn good!
Who even came up with this concept? It is freakin' genius!
Ah... I feel like I've been tricked... I zoomed in real close and that Elk's eye gave me nothing. Nothing. Just a love of grass.
This is a tricky one... there's so much in this shot, and I'm sure Elk are easily startled so you couldn't have gotten too close. I think Seth is right on the money, but I'm going to go 300mm focal length just to be contrary.

Haha! To be fair, this is not my idea. I'm just along for the ride! The idea train was pioneered by @jarvie, @derekkind and @caseygrimley if I'm not mistaken.

The "lens in the reflection of the elk's eye" is obviously a metaphor, and the answer is obviously 42mm, but since no one has said 42mm I'll back your 300mm.

I'm going with 400mm. I counted the trees in the background and there were 400 of them, therefore the focal length would definitely have to be 400... Nice shot!
