    LIKE IT SO HE SEES THIS IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL. If you're trying to pinpoint the location of the photo you should draw the line perpendicular to the line of the horizon. If you're sure the photo is taken exactly vertically or horizontally that means going straight down. The horizon is a circle. You're always slightly above it's center. Drawing a line perpendicular to the horizon means drawing a radius of that circle, that will always lead you to the center of it- the camera.

    I just want to take a moment to acknowledge how well Tom has been dealing with the past few months. Not only did a large influx of new viewers come in, but multiple content creators desired to collaborate with him. Consequently this must have caused a fair amount of pressure on Tom's everyday life. However, Tom managed to keep not only the new viewers happy with good quality content, but also those who wanted to collaborate despite the time zone differences.
    Tom had always been someone I watched on and off, but it wasn't until I took the plunge and watched his "How not to travel across Europe" that I learnt he's a great fellow Brit and I decided to subscribe for good. I recommend anyone here to go watch that series. It shows all you need to know about Tom. He's not too cocky too put people off, and not too humble/timid to be mistaken as Canadian. Keep it up Tom :)

    I totally stumbled upon this video. I didn't know anyone else had this hobby besides me. Every time I watch a TV show I press pause whenever there's an outdoor scene and I try to pinpoint the exact location of the shot just like this video shows. I will spend up to an hour searching for a single image. Doing this I've learned many things, like the show CSI is actually filmed in Los Angeles instead of Las Vegas. It's a fun hobby, but software probably exists to (help) do this automatically. For example, you can use Google's Image Search to look for outdoor buildings (thanks to Realtors who love to photograph buildings.) I attempted that using the left half of the image used in this video, and I found a lot of buildings in Qatar that looked similar. But after ten minutes I gave up and just watch this video to find the solution. One strange case was a guy who uploaded a photo to challenge me and I found some metadata in the photo that helped me locate the exact position without any other work.

  • @TetNeko
    @TetNeko 3 года назад

    In photogrammetry, you need at least two points to determine location. If you draw two lines from different features to the center bottom of the image and then use your method in google earth of finding the same features to help with the angle (i.e corner of building like in this video), you can then drag the lines to whatever distance that they intersect. The intersection of these lines is the place in which your camera would be. Additionally, altitude will not affect this method since we see in straight lines and your calculating angle of view. Terrain does not affect this as long as you can actually see the object you drew the lines from (meaning there is no mountain/building blocking your view). Can explain further if needed. Great work!!

    I said Egypt out loud when saw the pic because of the art deco buildings, which started in the 1930s in Egypt and then were later used in Miami Beach (the palette colors endure sand and ocean wind better). They still have this style buildings so would have looked into touristic Egyptian cities.

He could easily prove he is not cheating by not using challenge links, not looking away at another screen constantly, while still maintaining his "amazing" skill and "luck" guesses that are in almost every video. There are various ways to cheat in geoguessr and I'm guessing he utilises most of them.

    What I reacted to early was the fact that the boats were moored alongside, most marinas save the precious space by having them moor with either the stern or bow toward land, fitting more boats. That might be something to look at in the future, as you can see that detail while pretty zoomed out on google earth.

    Plot Twist: Andrew Feathercock was at the ATM/Friends Bar. The boat with the sloped windows, is directly in front the road going to the waterfront where Geowizard claims Andrew Feathercock was!. If Feathercock was in fact where GeoWizard claimed, that would mean the camera was a wide angle shot, which it obviously was not!

    It's so frustrating that Tom read the comment suggestions and he's still not drawing vertical lines. Imagine if you were to pan the camera so that the object you're drawing a line from is on the other side of the picture. Your line to the bottom middle of the picture would be in a completely different direction even though your camera had not actually changed positions. however if you just drew vertical lines the line and every feature that it aligned with would remain unchanged, just translated to the other side of the photo.
