There is nothing like a baseball game. Sit back, relax, and score a game.
To log a find, upload a photograph of you at the spot.
Enjoy!
This is the latest shutterspot I listed. It should be fairly easy to locate. Of course, I require a photograph of the logger at the spot to claim a find.
Shutterspots turn virtual geocaching on its head. One is provided photographs all taken from the same spot. The challenge is to get to the same location the photographer was when he took the photographs. He uses a GPS receiver to log the coordinates of the spot that he records with his log. If he is within 100 meters of the spot, he has a valid find given he has satisfied any other requirements the spot has.
It’s a fun activity. Give it a try!

These three images were taken from Google Street View all at the same location.
To log a find, please include a photograph of you in front of the residence with the gate.
The concealed coordinates put you in San Francisco. I suspect Zooma will recognize this place.

Ah, an interesting article. I think I know these folks. So, how many did you actually find?
A couple years ago I had the pleasure of being in Lawrence. To think, there’s even a shutterspot there.
Go figure . . .

Today I archived the Brick By Brick shutterspot. Unfortunately, the structure was demolished as part of the growing waterfront expansion in Millville.
While the community will benefit from that project, I am sadden a bit as I really enjoyed that old building.
This spot overlooked the Maurice River and the walking path that winds on the eastern side.

This is a shutterspot. A shutterspot is a GPS game. It is similar to virtual geocaching, but it stands it on its head. Instead of being provided a set of coordinates to locate a plaque, statue, etc., one is provided a photograph (or two or three). The challenge is to determine the exact spot the photograph(s) was taken.
One is provided a 100m grace to account for variances. This has been an extremely rewarding activity. I encourage you to give it a whirl.
The two photographs here were taken from the same spot. Get yourself there, take a set of coordinates, and a photograph of you at that spot and post it on the shutterspot page. If you are within 100m of the recorded coordinates, your log is accepted.
It can be more challenging than it appears.
