ANOTHER IMAGE SEARCH CHALLENGE

[Cramulus]

This is a continuation of the IMAGE SEARCH CHALLENGE

The idea is to find the origin of a target image.

We got the last image pretty fast! I asked triple zero for another image to puzzle out, and he supplied this:


[image is larger than you see - it has been shrunk down a bit to fit in your window.]

So let's try to puzzle out where in the world these photographs were taken.

[Suu]

That looks like a MiG.

My guess is former USSR somewhere.

haha by the filename "forumx.jpg" we can guess that 000 renamed it before he uploaded it.



The photo had some EXIF data attached to it. This probably isn't useful, but you never know...

Code Select Expand

Image input equipment manufacturer:  Nokia
Image input equipment model:  N82
Exposure time:  0.004
F number:  2.8
ISO speed rating:  100
Shutter speed:  7.965
Aperture:  2.97
Light source:  0
Flash:  24
Lens focal length:  5.6


Another picture that 000 took did not contain these data, so we can gather than he's probably not the photographer.

The Tractor says Fordson on it, which means it was manufactured between 1917 and 1920. From the frame around it, and the plane, I'm guessing we're looking at a museum of some sort.

The perfectly flat landscape does suggest the Netherlands, and explains why it'd be on trip's hard drive. :P

This one's really hard because it's a composite image. I am pretty sure that's in the UK, working on getting more detail.

[Suu]

That's a Nokia N82 phone. European release (obviously), but an older phone from 2007.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I'm giving up on this one due to needing to get some work done today.

Okay... wikipedia entry on the Fordson Tractor

from the discussion tab:

Right, the Fordson brand can be seen on a lorry at RAF Duxford, the Imperial War Museum of aircraft. They have a 1936 balloon winch mounted on the back of a Fordson WOT lorry. I've also seen a Fordson WOT crash truck for airfields. Binksternet (talk) 14:28, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Here's the website for the RAF Duxford, the Imperial War Museum of aircraft

on that site, they have an image of the building during WWII...



hmm, building doesn't look quite the same, but it was a long time ago.

Is that correct, trip? Is this the Imperial War Museum of Aircraft?

The filename was "four.jpg" because it's four images (so no hints in the filename). Imageshack added the X.

The busstop picture, I didn't take, I think I got it off flickr or twitpic some time.

I thought it would wipe the EXIF data after compositing, but apparently not because I resized and pasted the other three in. They're all from the same camera/phone though.

Okay, so now we know that the place is probably within driving distance of Groningen

nope not it.

[Triple Zero]

Why?

[Cramulus]

because you took the photo?

[Suu]

Then it's probably a Mirage and not a MiG.

[Cramulus]

here's a blown up version of the plane



does that shed any light on it?
