ABOUT THE PHOTO

This is my cousin's kid practicing his dodgeball skills. He may or may not have been able to hit me with the ball from where I was standing! As you can clearly see from his shadow, this shot was taken at exactly 3 P.M. EST, so take that into account when doing your intricate focal length calculations. Happy guessing!

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 focal length of the photo. We are using the original stated focal length regardless of the type of camera or sensor size

  1. The closest guess 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

Yummy time.

You copied my words again two times in a row, haha. I basically said the exact same thing in my post last week, ha. 40mm

You hit the nail right on the head young man and you're the winner!

No way! Huzzah!

Deja Vu much?

Also, I'm using my photostar powers to back up your guess.

Too much!

Holy balls, you freakin' kidding me dude? Just ridiculous! Great minds or something right?

Are you guys contemplaitin' templatin'?

You know, now that you mention it, I think we are!

Awesome guys! After all, originality is so cliche!

Ok, so looking at the shadow, and because it's a "wilson" ball.... I have to say I have no idea so I'm gonna go with 85mm

Love the investigative skills! :D

Your hints were so helpful... I'm going with 24mm.

haha glad to be of service! :D

Mad hover skillz dood!

Gonna say 50mm at 3pm on a Sunday with the candlestick.

Don't forget Colonel Mustard!

Hmmm i guess 35mm.

I'm gonna back this one. 35mm is a solid guess.

Close, but no cigar! :) It was 40mm.

But actually, you win the Photo Star point! You get a cigar after all!

Yessssss. The precious is mineeeee.

28 mm

55mm

35mm

So close! It was 40mm!

35mm

Hey @yumyumseth, I come here from the nature photo contest, and found you are also a photo star here. Are you all from the same gang? A cool gang btw... ;) Seems I didn't get any saucy and succulent SBD last week by guessing the photographers(or did I? I'm not following up), fingers crossed this time...

Haha it's a small world! Currently no gang, but that's a great idea, got any gang sign ideas? ;)
I'm just a guest on @photogames, so I would recommend talking to @jarvie, @derekkind, or @caseygrimley if you were supposed to win something and didn't get paid. They're the guys in charge!

oh a photographer street gang??? hmmm tempting

I'm going to go with 85mm purely because it's not been guessed yet!

I am backing you!

I'm going to back your guess of 85mm purely because I think you're right. ;)

95mm

Backing greddyforce

70mm

100mm

I think he's trying to throw us off so as the largest millimeter guess I'm going to back this one

Haha you overthought it! :)

yeah but all those other guesses were take!

20mm
