Current Goal

The goal of "A Beautiful Picture" is to collect and share 27 beautiful photographs. Then the bug will venture out with a new camera.

About This Item

"A Beautiful Picture" is attached to a FujiColor Quicksnap one use camera. If you have the bug, your job is to photograph the next most beautiful thing, person, vista, whatever, that you find. Then drop it in a different cache. YOU ONLY GET TO TAKE ONE PICTURE! THEN PASS IT ON TO THE NEXT PERSON BY DROPPING IT IN A DIFFERENT CACHE. THIS MAXIMIZES ITS TRAVELS!

The person that takes the last photo should place the camera, bug, and everything in the addressed, stamped envelope. I will have the photos developed and placed in a web page at: http://www.stevegandy.com/photography/abeautifulpicture/index.html

I will email all the photographers when the site is up.

Some photo tips:
-Hold the camera still
-Keep the sun over your shoulder
-Try placing your subject off center
-Stay at least 4 feet from your subject or the focus will not be sharp
-One use cameras don't usually capture sunsets and sunrises very well but the best light for photography is shortly after sunrise and shortly before sunset
-This camera will produce the best photos when used outdoors and is waterproof to a depth of 35ft.

All photographs become property of Steve Gandy Photography.

Retrieve It from a Cache 6/8/2005 Team GPSaxophone retrieved it from Prairie Dog Bark Park Colorado   Visit Log

Too bad this camera doesn't record the incessant barking of the prairie dogs. Then again, maybe that's a good thing 😉

Taking this bug back home now. Wouldn't have fit into this cache container. Took a couple pictures of Buckingham Palace on a chilly March day.

Thought this would be a nice TB to take on our trip to London. We'll check it into a cache or two there and bring it back safely to Colorado when we're done.

A Beautiful Picture is home in Colorado and camera #1 is on its way to developers. The website should be posted within a few weeks. I'll email all the people that left entries in the log when it is online.

The bug will be placed with camera #2 soon!
