Guess the Focal Length!
About the photo
Here's a photo of water obviously that I took somewhere on earth. It could be a huge fall or a tiny stream. Sounds like a mysterious "Where is it Wednesday"? It's less challenging than that: you only need to guess the focal length. Good luck and have fun! =)
Hint 1: I didn't use a tripod and it's windy.
Hint 2: It's not from where I live now.
Hint 3: You can post a song as well after guessing the focal length since I love Musical Monday too (just joking, it's not required ;)).

What is Focal Length?
Focal length describes the angle of view of a lens. That is, how much of a scene before us the lens captures. And in addition, how large subjects within the frame appear. The longer the focal length of a lens, the narrower its angle of view.
What is important to remember is that lenses with long focal lengths bring objects closer, like a telescope. And, on the flip side, wide angle lenses are great for capturing large vistas.

RULES & HOW TO PLAY
- For this Metadata Monday I would like you to guess the focal length of the photo. We are using the original stated focal length regardless of the type of camera or sensor size
- Only one guess per person, per post.
- No editing your guess - you have to commit!
- All metadata has been stripped from the pictures, so don’t bother looking for the EXIF!
- We are not required to tell you what kind of camera was used, or what time of day the photo was taken at, or whether filters were involved (this adds to the mystery and the challenge!)
- For this game you have until Thursday at 11am Central European Time.

My scoring will be:
The 1st person to guess correctly (or closest): 15 Hive
