ABOUT THE PHOTO

A photo taken at Ensign Peak in Salt Lake City, with friend and Stars & Cars member Jess modeling (rather bravely) on the rocks with the city lights in the background.

Without telling you the lens or camera, 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
