kblanken Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Two minutes after I took a pic of the Festhaus clock which said 12:00.

Probably a little earlier in the afternoon. Maybe just before 3pm EDT, but that is really just a guess. 20:50 would translate to 8:50 pm, not 4:50 pm. The "-04:00" merely indicates the time zone as an offset from UTC (in this case Eastern Daylight Time); it doesn't mean to subtract four hours from the time given. Also consider whether you reset your camera for the end of DST last month; if not, that would contribute to its clock being set wrong, meaning it would have only been one hour off (about 7:50 pm). Sunset that day was 8:46 pm, and given the angle of the shadow on the top of the yellow portion of the tower cast by the checkered portion, it's reasonable to say that the sun was low in the sky, and the sun is hitting the tower from the west, which backs up that conclusion. So I would say that it was taken shortly before 8:00 pm. jcgoble3, playing forensic photograph examiner 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further investigation has revealed that my camera appears to be about 2:16 ahead of real time, 20:50 - 2:16 would be about 6:34pm. I am now suggesting a time of 6:34pm on May 18, 2012.

jcgoble3 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 ^ Which I think is still plausibly consistent with the angle of the shadow. So I'd go with that. (Incidentally, while you're digging into your camera's settings, may I suggest setting the clock to the correct time? ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
