SHOW US YOUR SMILE!
You won't find a container of goodies here. Instead the goal is
to get your picture taken!
This cache requires a team effort!
What you will need in addition to your GPSr
- An assistant - Someone who can run the computer and
capture your image while you wave.
- Practice - Teach your assistant how to capture a Jpeg
image (this is the hardest part!).
- Communications - A cell phone or set time when you will
be at the cache site.
- Patience - For you while you stand around and smile. For
your assistant as they wait for the picture to update. (OK, maybe
this is the hardest part)
How to claim this webcam virtual cache:
- Go to the coordinates of this cache.
- Call your assistant and have them go to the webcam page.
- Smile for the camera and wait for an update! (the lower static
image updates about every 10 minutes)
- When your assistant sees a good webcam picture, have them save
the picture to the computer. (see 'Suggestion' below)
- Found it! logs without proper pictures will be deleted.
Don't log it until you have your picture ready for
upload.
Suggestion:
Before you go out on your geocache you should practice with your
assistant on how to capture an image from the Streaming Video.
(These instructions are for Windows)
- When the image is displaying that you wish to capture press the
"PRINT SCREEN" button on your keyboard. (This will put the image in
your clipboard)
- Open Microsoft Paint that should be under
Start|Programs|Accessories|Paint (Or you can use your own fancy
graphic editing software)
- Go to EDIT and select "PASTE" (or just press CTRL-V)
- You should now see the entire web page inside Paint
- You can just have your assistant save this file for your later
editing if you so chose
- Next CROP the image you want from the full page and save this
new image as a .JPG, or .GIF file so it can be uploaded with you
logged find.
