in photogames •  7 years ago  (edited)

“AND THE WINNER OF MONDAY'S GAME IS...”

The answer was 290MM
So the winner is... @intrepidphotos I'll transfer the SBD soon.
If guessing Focal Lengths was hard then check out my write up on tips to help you next time this comes around. Also to help you just be a more informed photographer.

Also congrats to @derekkind for earning the competitor point in our internal competition. He went with the guess of @IntrepidPhotos and thus gets a point towards the week totals.


TODAY'S GAME = GUESS WHERE THIS WAS TAKEN

HINTS FROM ME
My hint is that this is sunset not sunrise.

Also I'm picking a specific place where i was not just what I was photographing.
If you're the only one to guess the city you'll win... if not then the closest city... if not then the person who get's the state etc etc

Week 1 - Season 1 - Day 1
Click to view larger maybe you'll see more clues of WHAT i was photographing.

PUBLIC PRIZE POOL = .5 SBD

  • From Each Post of the 5 Competitors
  • If multiple people guess correctly (tie for 1st): 60% to first person / 40% divided between the next 5 people

TIME LIMIT

  • For this game you have 2 days to play
  • Winners announced on FRIDAY’S game

RULES FOR PUBLIC

  • One guess per post
  • No editing your comment
  • Closest guess wins
  • Each competitor/poster decides the winner of his/her own post!
  • The author has written down how specific they are expecting before the guesses begin (they may or may not share that).
  • For example if you guess the state you may be closer than the person that guessed the country until someone guesses the city and then the location inside of that… it’s up to the author to decide.

RULES FOR THE COMPETITORS (The "Photo Game Stars")

  • The Competitors also play but their guesses can’t earn money.
  • If you think they’re right jump on in with their guesses - perfectly acceptable.

STRATEGY TIPS

  • Do you guess first and get the bigger prize?
  • Do you wait to see what’s guessed?
  • Do you jump on in with the guess of someone else or try to be a little more exact?

Hurricane, Utah!

I’m pretty sure that’s what I can make out on the car lot sign! I doubt I would have originally guessed a Utah town. The lighting makes the mountains look a little different. So, I zoomed in, saw the Mormon church and Zion’s bank. Knew then it was somewhere near St George. Kept scrolling and read the car lot sign. Lol.

Sure you wanna be tipping everyone off that much? Or maybe you're leading them astray... hmmm... which one is it folks. Is she sneaky or helpful. haha

Ha ha. I thought we were supposed to be the first to guess. 😉

How did you read those signs?! I went with the same technique but anything I could see with my eyes can be found literally​ in every corner​ around the US :))

I knew there had to be some local business with the name of the city on it. I have 20/20 vision or better so could make out enough letters on one of the signs to put it together. 😉

Haha, ​love it! Very cool

I agree with Hurricane, Utah. The street is W State St, Hurricane.

My guess is that the shot was taken from here: https://goo.gl/maps/X4uaL8muV7r

I'm backing this!!!

Woohoo! Thanks to @intrepidphotos for guessing 300mm - I knew it was around that number. :D

Wow... Nice game 👍
Wish you join

Seems like everyone thinks this is Hurricane, Utah so I guess I will go with the flow on that !

Hurricane, Utah because the the way that the sun is positioned in the sky!
