Description:
TECOCam live from downtown Tampa, Florida. Find it, get your mug captured and upload with your "find" log entry to get credit!
The difficulty level on this cache is rough because it takes TWO people to complete this cache, one at the cache site, and the second person needs to be at a computer with web access at the same time to capture your image.
There are special rules for this webcam geocache because you can't just take a snapshot of a passing pedestrian, and say that it is you. You must stand there for a few seconds, and wave at the camera. If your arm is not up in the air..... You WILL NOT receive credit for you find.
(Note: Doing the Chicken Dance WILL get you EXTRA CREDIT POINTS from Team SHUEY, and probably a few weird looks from passerbys) :)
READ THE FOLLOWING VERY CAREFULLY!
INSTRUCTIONS:
1.) Find the cache site! (Best place to stand in exactly where Shawn in standing in the picture. Note: He is standing near the CRACK in the sidewalk.) (SMILE AT THE TECO BUILDING!)
2.) Call your partner on a cellphone, and let them know that you are there.
3.) Your partner must go to www.tecocam.com and locate you at this exact spot.
------------------------------------------------------------
Step-By-Step detailed directions to find you on camera, and make this MUCH easier. Follow these directions exactly:
a.) Click on "Tampa Museum Of Art" (Be patient, and let each frame load)
b.) Using the "REMOTE" go "DOWN" one time.
c.) Using the "ZOOM" you must zoom all the way in. DO NOT use the arrows. Click in the "YELLOW SQUARE" to the far right under "ZOOM"
d.) Using the "REMOTE" go "UP" one time.
e.) Using the "REMOTE" go "RIGHT" one time.
(Note: It is VERY IMPORTANT to let each frame load before moving on to the next step. If you make a mistake you will have to start over!)
------------------------------------------------------------
4.) Your partner must then capture an image of you by using the "PRINT SCREEN" button on their keyboard.
5.) Once the image is captured your partner will need to open some type of graphic editing software. Then do the following:
------------------------------------------------------------
Go to FILE and select "NEW"
Go to EDIT and select "PASTE"
NOTE: YOU SHOULD SEE THE WEB PAGE WITH YOUR CAPTURED IMAGE AT THIS POINT!
Next you must CROP the image from the page, and save this new image as a .JPG, or .GIF file so it can be uploaded with you find.
(IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH THIS IMAGE YOU CAN SEND THE IMAGE TO SHUEY@APOLLOBEACH.COM AND I WILL FIX THE IMAGE FOR YOU AND ADD IT TO THE WEB SITE.)

Special thanks to Shawn at MonstersCo.com for his help on making this cache possible.
