Green Lake Digital Treasure Hunt
Challenge your friends to travel around the lake, taking
pictures of all 18 scenes shown on these two pages (Green Lake for Kids
and Green Lake Scenes). Each boat load (with two
to four people) should leave five minutes apart, and should return within
one hour. Photos on the "Green Lake Scenes" page should be framed as
closely as possible to resemble the sample photos (so notice what is at
the top, bottom, and sides of the photos, and move your boat and/or camera
zoom to give you this view). Shots on this page (Green Lake for Kids) can
be framed at a different angle or close-up range (within reason!). Use the
"automatic" setting and don't worry about the exposure (light/dark); the
framing of the photo is more important than picture quality. If you can't
get the exact same shot, just do the best you can. But if your opponent's
photo is "closer to the original" than yours, you may lose up to five
points for that shot.
You have exactly one hour from the time you pay for the
boat. The boatkeeper's computer will decide if you are back within an
hour; if not, they will charge extra, and the people in that boat get a
50-point penalty. SO WATCH YOUR WATCH!
You
win on points, so find an impartial judge who can compare your photos to
the photo-sheets when you are finished. The photos are worth 10 points
each. Once all
boats are back, the game is over. Have your judge examine the photos
(perhaps while everyone enjoys pizza or some other treat) and decide who
is the winner.
