Foiled by Google!

I had for some time thought it would be quite amusing to have a picture quiz, after some thought it seemed famous scenes or images with the famous part removed would suit CS, but the plan fell flat on it's face after trying some only to find Google can still identify them even if I put something else in it's place, picture search is a marvellous tool at times but a pain in the butt at others

Any ideas as to what might work let me know

Here's some I tried .

Del, maybe if had original pictures that hadn't been on the net it might work but I'm not that widely travelled

Maybe you can ask people you know from different parts of the world to send you pics that have never been seen by Google.
Just a thought

Simmo, I did think of that but it sort of ruins the quiz aspect if members are looking at their own pictures

Happy, you're on the right lines but not specific enough, the first is Ayers rock, the second is missing Big Ben, spot on with third & the 4th yes is in the Louvre ( Debateably ) but it's the Mona Lisa

When we photo shop or edit a jpg with most software we are just adding code, telling the image to not show certain features or to also show fonts, or something else we added. That is why an edited jpg is often larger than the original. Point is all of the original info is usually still there and identifiable to google by the first few lines of code. What you probably need to do is switch it to RAW (not tiff), do your editing, then save it as a new jpg. That may alter things enough to fool google, but I am not sure.

I've always liked the picture quizzes where it's part of an everyday object, either taken zoomed in, or at a different angle.

Google shouldn't be able to identify those.....maybe.
