You've got a camera. Let's play a game!
Photogamer is moving to weekly updates: a new topic will be posted Monday, allowing a week to compose the perfect shot. Would folks like to see a single new topic each week, or perhaps three to choose from, or mix together as necessary?
Remember how in challenge #3, we mentioned that you get bonus points if you geotag it?
Here’s how you do it!
Go to the photopage of the photo you want to geotag and you’ll see some options in the lower right hand corner of the page that look like this:
Notice where it says, “Place this photo on a map?” Click on that!
That will take you to a map page. I dragged the map around until I could find the spot where I took the photo on the map and then I grabbed the photo by clicking and holding down on the clicker and I dragged it to the spot where I took the photo. Presto! It’s geotagged!
That was easy! Now you go do it to your 100 step photo and if you’re feeling ambitious, go crazy and geotag all your photos!!!
Photogamers have already started to bring it. Here is Eudaemonian’s Phrynosoma Coronatum… it’s small!
Don’t forget to tag all your photos with the tag for the challenge like in this case “small” and then add “photogamer.” That way we can search for all the small photogamer photos easily!
(Heads up: next week we’re going to have a mini challenge that will challenge you to include some geo-location data… it’s easy and we’ll teach you how to do it if you don’t know yet!)
Photogamer was down for a few hours today. I had to deal with a mysql problem and I spent the bulk of the afternoon diagnosing and fixing it. It’s all good now, YAY!
Now I can upload my photogamer challenge photos!
Okay. No one WANTS to look disgusting. But if your fearless leaders can do it, so can you!!
Happy photogaming!
