ABOUT THE PHOTO

My beautiful friend Jill recently had a very little (14oz) baby boy and she has been on my mind and in my prayers.

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

Going with f2.8. And I hope your friend and her baby are doing great.

I am backing this one :)

Thanks so much Scott.

f2.2

Winner!!

NO WAY!!!!
Are you serious!?! :D Lol, that's hilarious...
Thank you!!!! :D

Yep! congrats

Thank you : )
I'm just a little blown away... I really don't know a huge amount about aperture, I just look through the view finder and go with what I like from what I see. I never look at what it is at, not ever! Maybe I will now just for interest sake : )

I had to do some research online to be able to participate in this game, hence why I'm so surprised. Very unexpected!! : )

You are sure great at the research part. Figuring out where they are too.

Lol : ) Thank you! It's good, I'm loving it, I have learnt so much in the past month since participating. This was my first time playing METADATA MONDAY. Derek tried to get me to have a go a few weeks ago but I was too scared so I am certainly stepping out of my comfort zone and challenging myself.

As for figuring out WHERE ARE THEY, I live in Australia, I've never been overseas so I have no idea where any of these are taken... but I just look for clues : ) not just in the photos but with the photo stars too! : ) It also helps if we're given clues too! : )

Yes I find it hard when I am playing so I gave some generous clues. I have learned a ton playing too. This platform is so great cause we get to connect with people from all over the world.

My Photostar senses are tingling, I'm backing @jayclar30!

Way to go with those tingling feelings

I go for 1.8

f 2.0

As a photostar I'm backing this one

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

As a non photo Game star I'm going to guess 50mm

f stop

Haha can we blame that on me being on top of a cliff near Moab

Since I technically have not guessed the aperture yet I will say 2.8

I am surprised you have reception!

Is the air that thin up there? ;)

As a Photo star, I'm backing your 50mm but i think it is less then 2.8 :)

haha yes i know i forgot it was supposed to be aperture not MM haha

Yeah, you kind of have to start by thinking about the focal length though. We're basing our f/stop guesses on top of the lens guess on top of a guess about what kind of camera was used...it's trickier than just focal length.

F 7.1

I'd go for f/3.2 xD

f/4

f2.8

f3.5?

f1.8

Got to add to the f/1.8 guesses with this one!

I am going to have to say it is probably f/2.8 on this one.
