Gigapixel Scavenger Hunt

S-uper_T-oast · 8th February 2005, 22:10

After looking at the gigapixel thread and following the link to an image from the camera, I decided to make a thread for a scavenger hunt.
I'm thinking to describe a section you need to give a general description of what's in the picture, and what zoom level your at. Every couple of days or so, you can then give a hint about it's location until someone finds what you were looking at. To prove you found it you must take a screenshot and post the image. If you get it right, it's your turn to find something.

Easy eh? Kinda like I spy or something like that.

I'll start.
Zoom Level: Max
Object: Tower with clock face showing the time as 3:14

S-uper_T-oast · 9th February 2005, 20:41

Wrong clock buddy.

squakMix · 10th February 2005, 02:23

Ok, find this:

A liscence plate labeled "TP-HS-83". It will be as clear as day when you find it (there'l be no guessing at all).

squakMix · 10th February 2005, 02:27

No, even better:

Find this graffiti.

found it!

Find 5 people riding bicycles in a group

PAK-9 · 10th February 2005, 16:32

#I like to ride my bicycle#

Find the word "SHARP"

S-uper_T-oast · 10th February 2005, 22:43

I think a better way to do this will be to just double post when you find something. The first post will be showing the picture you were finding including the upper corner location box. Your second post could then be the picture you want people to find with a cropped image that only has to include the zoom bar and whatever thing you want to be found.

Is that agreeable?

siebe83 · 10th February 2005, 23:30

Yeah, I can't find SHARP

Cool to see Delft from this perspective, btw

(a friend of mine studies there, only 60 minutes away from here

)

A hint if you will...

siebe83 · 15th February 2005, 20:34

Totally forgot about this thread

I had planned to give a hint earlier already, sorry...

It's inside the red square in the screenshot.
The building with the post office sign on it, isn't square though...

billyvnilly · 15th February 2005, 20:59
