    Super Game for Photographers!

    Check this out! And have fun! Since this is our "living room" I thought it was appropriate.

    The only problem is - it is addicting!

    Man, that is a time waster. I got 98 the first time. But I didn't think my photo from Metropolis was at all worthy. I got 106 points the second time, but no front page in Metropolis. I will be back!

    Yeah, I can see where it might be. Luckily I had the will power to only play once. It was fun, but I didn't come close to John's score. Those darn action shooters! Now, if it had been a pretty girl in a dress standing still...:cryin:

    BTW, it was a riot to find out that a closeup shot got a high score no matter how it was cropped. A couple of my shots scored high enough to make the newspaper's front page, and all they showed were Superman's feet and hands...

    Re: Super Game for Photographers!

    I got a 64, but all my shots made the front page. I actually got one good closeup of him, and they chose a worse shot for the front page!

    If I had my Nikon I would have done much better. THat and the mouse pointer in the middle of the viewfinder added a degree of difficulty to it as well.

    My high score (played only once) was 73. All made front page, and my highest picture score was 9/10. This is too fun! Gonna quit before I get addicted.

    Glad you're enjoying it. Yes, it's addicting, a waste of time.....but fun.

    I deleted mine from my email - best cure for the addiction.

    Re: Super Game for Photographers!

    139!!!! I did an experiment, and it payed off! You get more points for zooming in, but for this game, I left the camera at it's widest focal length. I didn't get the nice close up's, but I was much more consistant. Is there a lesson to be learned here? ;)

    I managed to get a couple of 9/10 - but never broke 100. I took it off of my email - it was getting addictive, time wasting, frustrating and too much fun all at the same time.

    Re: Super Game for Photographers!

    I got a 62 in the one game I played, but every round I made the front page with a full-body shot of cute lil' action-figure Superman. Each time I was one point above what they were asking for (if they asked for a 5/10 I gave them a 6/10, etc.) Fun! And considering I'm using a trackpad ....

    Dang, those were some good looking front pages!
