    Yes, that one was very easy.

    I have already had a couple of turns so you can have another turn if you like Alan, since this one was easy.

    Just a courtesy tip, after you upload an image right click it and select 'Search image with Google' and make sure it doesn't come up on the first page of the results.

    Been testing a few photos in the test post thread, Google is too damn good. It gets every single one, unless it's that obscure that no one could ever guess it, unless they lived in the area

    Google Lens can actually be beaten.
    On DPReview, in the GTP #236 and #237 threads, only one out of 35 posted images was found by GL.
    In GTP #238 and #239 seven out of 26 posted images were found – only because very easy ones were being posted due to the impending DPR close-down.
    So, the challenge of finding (or creating) an image to beat GL can obviously be achieved - it does make it more difficult, but it's very satisfying when one successfully avoids the annoying GL. Cropping or using B&W can sometimes be effective.

    Yes exactly. The old printing press I posted was number one on the google list because of a couple of identifying parts in the original pic - the stand and plaque with info about the printer, period and use, and a picture on the wall to the side. I cropped those and tested again and it WAS on the list but further down.
    But I get that it can be hard, with so many places readily identifiable.
